Aeonium arboreum ‘Nigrum’ – Dark Rosette Beauty 🌑🌿

 Aeonium arboreum ‘Nigrum’ is a stunning succulent shrub with glossy, deep burgundy to almost black rosettes that sit on tall, slender stems. Its dramatic colour intensifies in full sun, making it a striking feature in containers or mixed succulent displays. This hardy, sculptural plant adds bold contrast and thrives on minimal care.

✔ Forms tall, branching stems topped with symmetrical rosettes

✔ Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant

✔ Perfect for containers, rockeries, or modern displays

✔ May produce clusters of yellow star-like flowers in maturity

Care Instructions:

 Light: Prefers full sun or very bright light to maintain deep colouring

Watering: Water sparingly – allow soil to dry out completely between waterings

 Soil: Use a well-draining cactus/succulent mix

 Feeding: Feed lightly every 4–6 weeks in spring/summer with succulent fertiliser

 Temperature: Likes warmth – 10–25°C; protect from frost

 Growth: Can grow up to 60–90cm tall over time, with multiple branching rosettes

 🌿 Tip: The colour deepens in bright sunlight – keep outdoors in summer for the richest tones (but acclimatise gradually).
