Prefers a sunny area in well-drained soil. Water occasionally to very little in coastal gardens. Is cold hardy to around 30° F or a bit lower for short durations. Aeoniums give an "other-world" effect, especially when planted in groups and this one adds some pizazz with its interesting colored foliage.

Aeonium decorum is widespread on the island of Gomera in the Canary islands where it can be found from sea level to over 2,500 feet. The name Aeonium comes for Greek word 'aionion' or 'aionios' meaning immortal or everlasting for its succulent nature and presumed longevity and the specific epithet is from the Latin word 'decorus' meaning "graceful" or "noble".

We got this selection as an unnamed selection of Aeonium decorum from the Huntington Botanical Gardens and when asked about it, succulent collection curator John Trager told us that the plant came to them from the 2007 Orchid Festival where he found it being used in a floral display created by florists Bob and Stella Berry. The Berry's have long had a connection to the Huntington and John felt a fitting tribute to both them and the plant would be to name it 'Berry Nice' - we agree! This form is lower growing with larger rosettes of leaves that are a lighter green color with red highlights compared to the entirely green form we grow of Aeonium decorum . We have grown this nice plant since 2014. 

The information about Aeonium decorum 'Berry Nice' 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.
