Aeonium Zwartkop 'Black Rose' Succulent Plant in 2 Inch Pot

Aeonium 'Zwartkop', also known as 'Black Rose', is a striking succulent prized for its dramatic, dark purple-black rosettes. The spoon-shaped leaves form tight, symmetrical rosettes that create a bold contrast in succulent collections, rock gardens, and container plantings. This Aeonium adds a unique, architectural element to any sunny spot.

Native to the Canary Islands, Aeonium 'Zwartkop' is a monocarpic succulent, meaning each rosette blooms once and then dies, but it readily produces offsets to continue the display. It is an excellent choice for water-wise gardens, patio containers, and mixed succulent arrangements.
