Common Name(s): Starburst Aeonium, Variegated Pinwheel Plant
Origin: Cultivated hybrid (Canary Islands parentage)
Description:
A living kaleidoscope of color, Aeonium ‘Starburst’ dazzles with its large rosettes of fleshy, spoon-shaped leaves dramatically striped in creamy white and mint green, with pink blushed edges when sun-stressed. This architectural succulent grows up to 30cm tall, forming eye-catching clusters perfect for containers, rock gardens, or Mediterranean-style landscapes. Unlike some aeoniums, ‘Starburst’ maintains its striking variegation year-round, though summer dormancy may cause outer leaves to drop temporarily.
Care:
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light (morning sun enhances pink edges)
💧 Water: Moderate – soak when top 5cm of soil is dry (reduce in summer dormancy)
🌱 Soil: Well-draining mix (equal parts potting soil & perlite)
🌡️ Temp: 5-30°C (protect from frost and extreme heat)
✂️ Pruning: Remove spent rosettes to encourage branching
Pet Friendly: ✅ Non-toxic to cats and dogs (ASPCA approved)
