Aeonium 'Carol' - This hybrid Aeonium was found in Alice Keck Park Memorial Garden in downtown Santa Barbara and is thought to be a Aeonium canariensis hybrid. It has 6 to 10 inch green leaves with red tinges that form rosettes that look like 12 to 18 inch wide flat dinner plates. It forms very attractive clumps. It is very similar to another Aeonium canariensis hybrid we call Aeonium 'Alice Keck Park', but this plant does not seem to flower. This is certainly beneficial as when these Aeonium flower, the attached rosette dies back. Plant in full sun (coastal) to light shade. We have seen this plant growing in gardens that get light frosts and can speculate that it will tolerate temperatures down to 28 ° F without damage. Like Aeonium 'Alice Keck Park' this plant was shared with us by Santa Barbara City Parks Gardener Carol Terry.
The description above is based on our research and observations of this plant growing in our nursery and in our own and other Santa Barbara gardens. We would appreciate hearing from anyone who has additional information or disagrees with what we have written.
