Aeonium simsii

 

Aeonium 'Simsii'

Aeonium simsii is a succulent plant that can grow up to 8 inches (20 cm) tall, with relatively small rosettes of leaves, but it branches prolifically to form a dense cushion of ground-hugging heads. This tendency makes it appear like a species of sempervivum, although it's of the aeonium genus. The bright green leaves are strap-shaped with pointed tips. The lower surface of the leaf is marked by many dark green short lines running lengthwise, and the upper surface may sometimes have a purplish brown line in the middle. The leaf margins are lined with translucent cilia, giving them a fringed appearance.
