The Aeoniums are doing very well too. I sometimes leave them poking out through the fleece as the covering seems to warp the leaves a little for a few days. They seems to reshape back eventually though. Most are 18month old cuttings, and branching quite nicely. It’s a little green for winter but will go back to darker purple colours when the sun returns for summer #succulentsunday #aeonium #succulent #aeoniumzwartkop

They are sooo good! Yesterday at an NGS garden they had loads for sale. Really tempting despite already having a few!!! I resisted 😇 xx

Thanks Jacob 😄 @SpicyCactus it really was stunning, lost its colour a bit this winter but I’ve chopped the stem up now as I want to propagate this and get more. 3 out of the 5 have sprouted, just waiting for the others

Hi @kimara - that’s sounds strange doesn’t it? I’m not an expect on aeoniums, but my initial thought is maybe it needs a brighter sunnier spot? When I bring mine indoors over the UK winter, they tend to lose their colour a little but I’ve not had a purple one go completely green before. Not sure if that helps, but hope you find a solution 😊👍🏼

Welcome to the club @richard.spicer.7906 waiting for mine to fully open. Bought it last July and thought it had died during all the cold/snow/frost we had. They're just beautiful !
