Aeonium

Two plants photographed today

Difficult to believe that these are actually both cuttings from the same plant. No 1 has been in full sun for the whole summer, no 2 has been in a rather shaded greenhouse. Variegated form of Aeonium haworthii, but it needs sun to bring out the variegation.

So, is it "Kiwi"?

I just bought it as Aeonium haworthii variegated, but having looked up 'kiwi' I can see what you mean.

Lovely plant Juster. When you say grown in full sun, do you mean it was grown outside during Summer ? Cheers

Yes Eric, it's been outside since about May, where you see it now, on the potting bench against the south facing back wall of the house with a couple of other Aeoniums. The contrast between the two plants really struck me, just shows the difference growing conditions can make.

You are right Juster. I experimented this year with growing a few cacti and succulents outside in the gorgeous Summer. They looked remarkably well too. I let the rain do the watering with a few normal feeds from me.

It is definitely the plant sold as 'Kiwi' though that should officially be named 'Dream Colour'

It is a cultivar of Aeonium haworthii, often named A. 'Kiwi', A. 'Kiwionium' or A. 'Tricolour'.

We've discussed this in a couple of threads and, in the UK at least, the plant sold as 'Tricolor' is definitely distinct from the plant that should be known as 'Dream Colour' but is also called 'Kiwi' etc.
