Introducing the fiery splendor of Aeonium ‘Phoenix Flame’, a captivating succulent that brings a burst of vibrant colors and unique textures to any collection. Native to the Canary Islands, this remarkable plant is a testament to nature’s artistry, featuring rosettes that glow with a blend of deep reds and bright greens, reminiscent of a phoenix rising from the ashes. The leaves are thick, fleshy, and taper to a fine point, creating a striking contrast against the softer hues of a succulent garden.
Aeonium ‘Phoenix Flame’ reaches an impressive size for a succulent, growing up to 12 inches in height and width. Its architectural form makes it a perfect focal point in rock gardens, succulent arrangements, or as a stand-alone specimen in a decorative pot. Unlike some of its more sprawling counterparts, ‘Phoenix Flame’ maintains a compact, upright growth habit, making it an excellent choice for areas with limited space.
One of the most mesmerizing aspects of Aeonium ‘Phoenix Flame’ is its seasonal transformation. As the days shorten and temperatures drop, the rosettes intensify in color, with the reds becoming more pronounced, creating a dramatic display that can brighten the dreariest of winter days. In the spring, expect to see bright yellow flowers that contrast beautifully against the dark foliage, adding yet another layer of interest to this stunning plant.
While it is relatively easy to care for, Aeonium ‘Phoenix Flame’ does best in well-draining soil and with plenty of sunlight, which encourages the most vibrant coloration of its leaves. This plant is a true phoenix, not just in name but in its ability to bring fiery beauty and resilience to your succulent collection.
