Dinner Plate Aeonium (Aeonium tabuliforme): A Flat, Giant Rosette

Aeonium tabuliforme, the Dinner Plate Aeonium, is one of the most extraordinary succulents, forming a single, massive, perfectly flat rosette up to 18 inches across, composed of hundreds of overlapping, spoon-shaped, bright green leaves. It is monocarpic, dying after flowering, but often produces offsets. It prefers cool, moist, shaded conditions, making it a unique specimen for shaded patios and coastal gardens.
