Aeonium love
Well here I go blogging about a plant that I’m not sure can be found at your favorite nursery - Aeonium ‘something-something’ with its ‘Zwartkop’-looking outer leaves and lime-green eye. Imagine it in a foliage garden bridging the gap between dark Japanese maples, something low and green and ornamental grasses.
I spotted the compact 3 by 3 foot mounded bouquets thriving in a neglected yard in Laguna Beach. Nothing leggy about these beauties. And you can bet that a piece of it went into my pocket.
San Marcos Growers has a similar Aeonium called ‘Blushing Beauty’ but it’s not quite the same - more incurved than cabbage-like. Euro American’s Aeonium ‘Tip Top’ is also similar, but a bit longer in the leaf.
So I guess I’m going to have to go back and actually knock on the door to get more. Form a line, people. First dibs.
whatever
