About Aeonium velour
Aeonium velour is one of the most distinctive succulents in the Crassulaceae family. Its origin is in Canary Islands and North Africa. It is characterized by terminal rosettes on long stalks, an evolutionary adaptation that makes it a unique piece in the world of succulents.
At Succulentae we produce Aeonium velour with artisanal technique in southeastern Spain, following a cultivation protocol that replicates the sun, dryness and mineral conditions of its native habitat. This produces stronger specimens, with intense coloration and compact form, ready to join your collection.
