Description

Aeonium undulatum, Saucer Plant, is the largest of all the Aeoniums and is capable of reaching an extraordinary 2m in height and up to 1m across. It has a tall woody stem upon which sits the enormous green rosette with slightly wavy green foliage. It has a tall yellow inflorescence after several years of growth.

Aeonium undulatum requires excellent drainage with a very free-draining substrate. It should be grown in sun or partial shade during the summer months and be brought back inside before the first of the frosts in October to a warm well-lit room for the duration of the winter.
