Aeonium ‘Du Rozzen’

Common Name:
Aeonium 'Du Rozzen'

Description:
Aeonium 'Du Rozzen' is a striking succulent cultivar prized for its compact, symmetrical rosettes of glossy, fleshy leaves that emerge a deep green and transition to rich burgundy tones with sun exposure. This low-maintenance plant adds a sculptural element to containers, rockeries, and drought-tolerant garden designs, performing well in Melbourne’s climate with minimal intervention. Unlike many other succulents, Aeoniums have a unique winter growing period, making them ideal for year-round interest. During the warmer months, the plant may go semi-dormant, conserving energy in dry conditions. ‘Du Rozzen’ prefers full sun to part shade and requires well-drained soil to prevent root rot. While it rarely flowers in cultivation, when it does, it produces tall conical clusters of small yellow flowers, after which the flowering rosette will die off—a typical trait of monocarpic succulents. This cultivar’s vibrant foliage and neat form make it a standout in mixed succulent arrangements or as a singular potted feature.
