Aeonium 'Blushing Beauty' is a rare rosette succulent in the Crassulaceae family, native to the Canary Islands and Mediterranean hillsides where it evolved in warm, dry conditions. This succulent has become popular among collectors for its sculptural form and straightforward care requirements.
The plant forms upright, clustering rosettes with spoon-shaped leaves that blend green and red tones, deepening to blushing hues under bright light. Each layered rosette builds outward in a geometric pattern, and the clustering growth habit means the plant fills out into a full display over time. Leaves shift from green to deeper red tones in full sun.
Mature rosettes may produce conical flower clusters rising from the center, typically triggered by cooler night temperatures. Like all aeoniums, individual rosettes are monocarpic, meaning a blooming rosette completes its life cycle, but surrounding offsets continue growing and keep the plant full. It grows well on balconies and patios in summer and autumn, though it needs cover from heavy rain to protect the rosette form.
Move it outside in summer. You can leave it up to ten days without water. This pet-friendly succulent is safe for cats and dogs. The plant propagates easily from stem cuttings taken from the clustering offsets, which root within a few weeks in warm, bright conditions.

Aeonium 'Blushing Beauty' does best in a fast-draining succulent or cactus mix blended with perlite for extra aeration.
It prefers temperatures between 50-75°F and should be protected from frost below 25°F.
