Aeonium Schwartzkopf (Pot Size 12cm) Black Rose

Quick Guide

  • Striking black-purple rosettes
  • Loves sunny spots
  • Low water requirement
  • Ideal for pots and containers
  • Attracts pollinators in bloom

Aeonium 'Schwarzkopf', also known as the Black Rose, is a dramatic and visually stunning succulent that brings an exotic touch to any space. Its deep black-purple rosettes resemble flowers, offering a unique aesthetic appeal. Perfect for modern and minimalist homes, it works well in pots, containers, or as part of a succulent garden, providing a striking contrast against lighter-coloured plants.

Thriving in sunny locations, the Black Rose can be positioned on sunny windowsills, balconies, or patios. While it enjoys the warmth, it prefers indirect light in the hottest parts of the day to prevent sunburn. This succulent is known for its low water needs, making it an excellent option for those seeking low-maintenance indoor plants. During its bloom time in the spring, it produces yellow flowers that attract pollinators, adding a burst of colour to its dark foliage.

Reaching an ultimate height and spread of approximately 60-75 cm, Aeonium 'Schwarzkopf' can become a striking centrepiece in your collection. It requires minimal trimming, primarily to remove any spent flowers or damaged leaves.

Plant Care Guide

Caring for your Aeonium 'Schwarzkopf' involves letting the soil dry out completely between watering. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so be cautious. This plant prefers a well-draining soil mix and a pot with drainage holes. In the UK, it's essential to provide protection from frost by bringing it indoors during the winter. Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser every few weeks during the growing season. It prefers a sunny spot but should be shaded from the most intense midday sun. Ideal temperatures range from 18°C to 24°C.
