Aeonium leucoblepharum
Aeonium leucoblepharum is a striking succulent species native to the Canary Islands. It is characterized by its rosettes of spoon-shaped, pale green to grayish-green leaves arranged in a tight spiral pattern. The leaves often have a powdery or velvety texture, adding to the plant's visual appeal. Aeonium leucoblepharum produces tall, branched inflorescences bearing small, star-shaped yellow flowers in the spring or early summer, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies.
This succulent thrives in well-draining soil and prefers full sun to partial shade. It is drought-tolerant and can withstand dry conditions once established. However, it benefits from occasional deep watering during the growing season. Aeonium leucoblepharum is also suitable for container gardening and can be grown indoors in bright, indirect light. With its unique appearance and low maintenance requirements, it is a popular choice for succulent enthusiasts and gardeners looking to add interest to their landscapes.
