The coloration of this variety is enhanced in full sun. As summer progresses, the plant enters dormancy. A variegated form of this species, 'Island Sunset,' is available from specialist nurseries. Aeonium tabulaeforme, a strange and wonderful stemless type, has strongly overlapping ciliated green leaves. As with most of the stemless species, this one is monocarpic.
Propagation is by offsets or by seed.
This species is suited for pot culture, and it grows best in part shade. Do not let water sit on the crown. Pot-grown specimens appreciate rich soil. Frequently this plant is labeled as A. undulatum 'Pseudotabuliforme' or A. pseudotabulaeforme. Aeonium decorum, growing to 1 foot, is an especially attractive winter-blooming species.
