Aeonium arboreum 'Velours'
Aeonium ‘Velours’ is a striking succulent with glossy, rosette-forming leaves in rich burgundy to deep purple tones, often flushed with green at the centre. The smooth, spoon-shaped foliage forms neat, symmetrical rosettes on branching stems, creating a bold architectural display.
Perfect for bright indoor spaces or sunny windowsills, it works beautifully as a feature plant or within succulent arrangements. In strong light, the colouring intensifies, adding depth and contrast to modern plant displays.
