aeonium arboreum 'Zwartkop'

Aeonium arboreum ‘Zwartkop’, commonly known as black rose, is a drought-tolerant, slow-growing succulent adapted to many summer-dry climates. Rosettes of dark, almost black, leaves on long stems create a unique and dramatic focal point in the landscape. This plant does best in full sun to part shade in well-drained soils.

Originating from the Canary Islands, Aeonium arboreum ‘Zwartkop’ requires minimal water once established and is ideal for rock gardens, containers, or as a low-maintenance groundcover in low-water landscapes. Its architectural form and dark foliage make it a standout plant in any garden setting.
