Succulents such as Irish Rose, botanical name Aeonium arboreum are one of the more popular succulent varieties due to their many landscape and decorative uses. Native to the Canary Island where Aeonium grows wild on the hillsides in the drier desert regions, these succulents are very showy with rosette-style leaves that will have large stocks of yellow blooms grow in the spring. Once each rosette blooms, it will die off and be ready for a new one to take its place.
These succulents are very easy to grow and maintain as well. Aeonium not only grows well outside but inside with adequate light as well. These are a full sun succulent that requires little water and can even handle cooler temperatures above freezing as well. Like other plants, these succulents need to be fed and we recommend monthly applications of Moon Dust and Moon Juice to keep your Irish Rose looking and growing its best.
When watering these succulents be sure not to overdo it, too frequently and the plants can rot. In the ground, these should be watered to about 12"" all around the root ball, when in pots water just enough to saturate the soil and allow to dry completely before watering again. Aeonium arboreum works in nearly all landscape styles and soil types, proper care will make these a great accent plant or potted plant.

"I was googling fun St. Patrick's day gifts for spouses and came across the Irish Rose. We planted these two years ago and they are still going strong. Every St. Patrick's day, my wife and I try to go all out and knowing that I planted Irish Roses, she'll never beat me. Cheers!"
