Common Name(s): Fiesta Aeonium, Variegated Sunburst
Origin: Cultivated hybrid (Canary Islands parentage)
Description:
A vibrant celebration of color, Aeonium ‘Fiesta’ dazzles with rosettes of fleshy, spoon-shaped leaves in a confetti-like mix of lime green, creamy yellow, and soft pink edges. Sun exposure deepens the pink hues, creating a stunning ombre effect. This compact succulent grows up to 25 cm tall, forming dense clusters ideal for containers, fairy gardens, or Mediterranean-themed landscapes. Unlike monocarpic aeoniums, ‘Fiesta’ is polycarpic, meaning it blooms annually without dying—a long-lived showstopper!
Care:
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light (morning sun enhances colors).
💧 Water: Moderate – water when top 5cm of soil is dry (reduce in summer dormancy).
🌱 Soil: Well-draining mix (potting soil + perlite/pumice).
🌡️ Temp: 5-30°C (protect from frost and extreme heat).
✂️ Pruning: Trim leggy stems to maintain bushy growth.
Pet Friendly: ✅ Non-toxic to cats and dogs (ASPCA approved)
