Aeonium arboreum 'Zwartkop' Highlights:

• Aeonium arboreum 'Zwartkop' forms large black to burgundy rosettes that can reach 8" in diameter on a stem that reaches up to 4' tall.
• Produces a 3' tall bloom stalk with hundreds of small, white to pink flowers. 
• Hardy to Zone 9b (25°-30° F). Aeonium will not survive a hard frost. However, succulents can easily be grown indoors under grow lights or in a sunny window if there is a risk of temperatures dropping below 35° F. If there is only a risk of freezing temperatures for a few days, most succulents do just fine outside if they are covered by frost or a sheet until temperatures increase (I'm talking to you, Zone 9 friends).

Aeonium Care: As with all succulents, it is best to follow a "soak and dry" schedule where you water your plants deeply (until water runs out the bottom drain holes), and then allow your soil to dry completely before watering again. Succulents should always be planted in well-draining cactus and succulent soil and in a pot or container that has drain holes.
