Aeonium 'Kiwi' (Tricolor): A Compact, Tri-Colored Aeonium with Cream, Green, and Pink

Aeonium 'Kiwi', also sold as 'Tricolor' or 'Kiwionium', forms compact rosettes of spoon-shaped leaves that are variegated with a creamy yellow center, green middle band, and bright pink to red margins in sun. It branches freely, forming a low, shrubby mound 1–2 feet tall. In spring, yellow flower cones appear on mature rosettes (which then die, but branches continue). A cheerful, colorful addition to succulent collections and mild-climate gardens.
