About Aeonium Morticia
Known in botany as Aeonium Morticia, this succulent belongs to the Crassulaceae family and comes from Canary Islands and North Africa. Its most distinctive feature is terminal rosettes on long stalks, a trait that makes it unmistakable even among advanced collectors.
Your Aeonium Morticia has been grown at Succulentae, a specialized nursery in Almería, under real Mediterranean arid conditions — more resilient and better adapted than artificial greenhouse plants. This produces stronger specimens, with intense coloration and compact form, ready to join your collection.
