Aeonium Super Bang
The Aeonium Super Bang is a cultivar whose evocative name perfectly reflects its explosive visual personality. This succulent stands out for its perfectly structured rosettes with thick, glossy leaves displaying flamboyant shades of lime green, golden yellow, orange, pink, and even carmine red depending on light and water stress. The center of the rosette often remains light green, while the margins glow with warm, vibrant tones, creating a “burst” effect that justifies its spectacular name.
Each rosette measures between 10 and 20 cm in diameter, carried by a short or slightly elongated stem. The plant generally forms a dense, branching habit with multiple heads creating a highly decorative bush. Easy to cultivate and undemanding, Aeonium Super Bang is appreciated both in pots and in the ground (in frost-free regions) and adapts well to bright indoor or conservatory conditions.
