Aeonium 'Voodoo' (Giant Red Aeonium) - This beautiful tall succulent has foot wide rosettes of solid dark reddish-bronze leaves on stems to 4 to 5 feet tall. A stout 2-foot-tall pyramidal inflorescence rises in from the center of this plant in late summer into fall.

Plant in full coastal sun to light shade in a well-drained soil and irrigate occasionally. It should be cold hardy to about 25° F. The largest of the dark reddish foliage Aeoniums - really a stunning plant!

This hybrid was created by eminent southern California horticulturist Jack Catlin by crossing Aeonium undulatum with Aeonium arboreum 'Zwartkop'. Another Catlin hybrid that we grow with the same parentage is called 'Cyclops'. 'Cyclops' has the stronger green eye while 'Voodoo' tends to be more of a solid dark color and grows larger. 

The information about Aeonium 'Voodoo' displayed on this web page is based on our research conducted in the nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also include observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share cultural information that would aid others in growing this plant.
