Aeonium arboreum ‘Schwarzkopf’, the Black Rose Aeonium, is one of the most popular Aeoniums for its true-black rosettes in brighter conditions. As it matures, it develops a tall, tree-like structure crowned by those dark rosettes. In winter, when daylight is lower, their centres can look noticeably greener; the black colouring deepens again as light levels rise.
Why choose Aeonium ‘Schwarzkopf’?
- True-black Black Rose rosettes in brighter conditions
- Tall, tree-like structure as it matures
- Seasonal contrast between greener winter centres and darker foliage in stronger light
Young plants will take time to develop the taller form. The photographs show darker colouring; your plant’s appearance will vary with season and light. Plants are posted bare root or with compost reduced to help protect them during delivery.
