Aeonium spathulatum (subalpine form) Exclusive
Aeonium spathulatum (subalpine form) Exclusive
20 (30)cm, a dwarf form found in a remote and very small population with some 25 mature plants at an subalpine elevation growing in NW facing rock crevices at Roques del Cedro (Cañadas Crater) at some 2.040m. Makes much more compact woody sub shrubs and smaller, more compact bright yellow flower heads and very small, strongly succulent, slightly glossy, more or less non stocky leaves than the type species. The rosettes will close completely in summer and open again with lower temperatures in autumn. Probably the most cold tolerant of all forms from Aeonium spathulatum. Has a frost resistance down to -7°C/20°F for a short period, an ideal plant for the unheated greenhouse or the cool wintergarden if grown in a very well drained soil and kept absolutely dry from October onwards.
