This may actually be my favorite plant. It’s the first to bloom and smells WONDERFUL. The one pictured below, unfortunately, isn’t mine – mine is dead. It’s a fragile plant that doesn’t like to be moved and needs to be planted in ‘just the right spot.’ All the fussing is worth it.

I love Aeonium. These plants are very fragile and don’t last over the winter but are worth buying every year – if you can find them. If you keep them in pots and bring them in the house then you can enjoy them year over year.
Aeoniums
The picture below wasn’t taken in my garden but was part of a garden tour I went on a couple years ago. This homeowner was able to keep his Aeonium alive over winter – I wish I could remember where he lived so I can ask him how.
