Aeonium tabuliforme, the flat-topped aeonium, is an unusual species with a broad, saucer-like rosette of succulent ground hugging leaves. It's native to Tenerife, where it's found growing on rocky cliff faces. It's a short-lived perennial that will die after flowering.
For best results, grow Aeonium tabuliforme in a pot in full sun or dappled shade, in gritty, well-drained soil. Can be placed outdoors in the summer, but requires protection from frosts. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM). Find our more in our Aeoniums grow guide.
