Haworth's Aeonium
Aeonium haworthiiAlso known as Pinwheel, Pinwheel Aeonium
Haworth's Aeonium forms dense branching shrubs composed of blue-green rosettes edged in fine red teeth. Native to dry rocky cliffs in Tenerife, this drought-tolerant succulent produces clusters of pale yellow or cream flowers in late spring. Lower leaves naturally drop over time, creating a distinct woody stem profile resembling a miniature tree.
