Aeonium 'Sunburst' ('Tricolor') is grown for its striking variegated green, yellow, and creamy white foliage that may develop rosy-pink edges. Large rosettes on short branching stalks resemble flowers and brightens any landscape. Cone-shaped clusters of pale yellow star-shaped flowers rise above the foliage in spring. Full sun only in coastal or cooler climates. Provide partial shade in hot climates. Dormancy period can occur in hot summer months; reduce water during this time. Prune to remove the stem after it has flowered. Looks great in the California landscape planted in mass, in containers, or planted with other succulents of contrasting colors for maximum effect in the garden. Low maintenance. Low water requirements. High impact.
How large does it grow and what is its habit?
It typically grows about 1 to 2 ft tall and about 2 to 3 ft wide, with a habit of rosettes atop stems, spreading moderately.
What light and site conditions does it prefer?
Best in full sun to partial shade; some afternoon shade may benefit it in very hot climates. It requires very well-drained soil and prefers lean to moderate moisture.
What about watering, soil and general care requirements?
Plant in a well-draining mix (succulent/cactus or sandy loam amended). Water only when the soil is mostly dry. Be cautious of over-watering or wet soils, as this plant is more sensitive to rot. It may go somewhat dormant in very hot or dry summer conditions.
What about flowering and lifecycle quirks?
On maturity it may produce pale yellow star-shaped flowers on a tall stalk, but the rosette that flowers may die afterwards (though offsets will persist and continue growth).
