Aeonium (Greenovia) dodrantale
Likely Aeonium (Greenovia) dodrantale forming multi-branching colonies of small rose buds.
This succulent came to us as Aeonium diplocyclum (syn. Greenovia diplocycla) however it is more likely A. dodrantale. It forms multi-branching colonies of small rose bud-like rosettes. In winter the rosettes tend to spread open into a flat disc like other Aeonium but in summer or with drought stress they tighten up forming a cluster that looks like a green rose bud. Aeonium may be provided as cuttings for mail order customers.
