Aeonium arboreum 'Zwartkop' - Black Rose

Aeonium arboreum ‘Zwartkop’s’ is also known for its moniker "Black Rose" for its very distinctive, yet beautiful dark purple to almost black leaves. The waxy leaves form a flower shape and appear at the end of long, bare, single stems that reach up to 3 feet.

These often make a superb backdrop to show off your companion plants for their height and dark color, without losing any attention themselves. To maintain its deep purple color, it needs plenty of sun.
