Aeonium 'Mardi Gras' is a striking variegated succulent hybridised by Renee O’Connell from California, making it a popular choice for collectors. This unique plant is a cross between Aeonium ‘Velour’ and an unnamed hybrid, resulting in rosettes of dazzling colours that change with the seasons. The leaves exhibit a combination of lemon yellow, emerald green, and deep burgundy, with pink and orange hues intensifying during the summer dormancy period. The plant’s colours become more vibrant when exposed to bright light and water stress, a bonus for those who might forget to water regularly.

Best grown in a pot, Aeonium 'Mardi Gras' is ideal for Australian conditions, although it is not frost-hardy. It thrives in morning sun with afternoon shade, especially in hotter climates. The rosettes can reach up to 15 cm across, and the entire plant may grow up to 50 cm tall, forming a small, tree-like structure as it branches out.

Propagation is straightforward, as the plant produces offsets readily in early spring. However, it’s important to note that leaf propagation is ineffective, and seeds may not carry the variegated traits. While generally low-maintenance, it's prone to pests like mealybugs and aphids, particularly in pots, so regular checks are advised. Aeonium 'Mardi Gras' adds vibrant colour and unique texture to any garden or collection, with its dynamic seasonal display.
