Attention Gardeners, are you looking for a hybrid plant that will make your garden stand out? Look no further than the Giant red aeonium, known as Aeonium Cyclops, a vibrant member of the Aeonium genus.! This low-maintenance hybrid is a result of a cross between Aeonium undulatum and a popular Black rose - Aeonium arboreum ‘Zwartkop.’ Aeonium cyclops, which resembles a green "eye," gets its name from its crimson-colored leaves, which grow in an overlapping and spreading pattern.  

Native to Canary Island, the Aeonium Cyclops is a stunning, tall, evergreen succulent plant that can grow up to 18 inches wide, with large rosettes of thick, glossy, and fleshy leaves. The leaves are spoon-shaped and have a waxy wavy texture, which helps to retain moisture in arid conditions. 

The tree aeonium's leaves can turn vibrant purple or dark reddish bronze with a bright green heart when exposed to direct sunlight or stress. Its long, sturdy stems can reach heights of up to 5 feet or more, giving it a striking architectural presence. This Aeonium plant also produces star-shaped yellow flowers from late winter to early spring, with unique and beautiful features. 

In terms of care, the Aeonium Cyclops thrives in well-draining soil and prefers a sunny location. It can tolerate partial shade but may lose some of its vibrant coloration. The Giant Red Aeonium is drought-tolerant but cannot handle extreme heat or drought. It curls its leaves during the summer. If exposed to full sun, the rosette shrivels up into a ball. Water aeonium sparingly during summer and more frequently in winter, ensuring soil dryness to prevent root rot in prolonged moist conditions. With its striking red foliage and low maintenance needs, you can grow these beauties outdoors in USDA 9-11. 

Overall, the Aeonium Cyclops - Giant Red Aeonium is a visually captivating succulent that adds a touch of drama and beauty to any space. Its unique growth habit and color-changing leaves make it a popular choice among succulent enthusiasts.
