Aeonium 'Blushing Beauty' (Blushing Aeonium) - This beautiful succulent has tight clusters of rosettes of green leaves tinged with red on top of short thick stems to 1 to 2 feet tall - color particularly strong during the summer. Plant in full coastal sun to light shade in a well-drained soil and irrigate occasionally. It should be cold hardy to ~ 25° F. This hybrid was created by eminent southern California horticulturist Jack Catlin in 1976 by crossing Aeonium canariense with Aeonium arboreum 'Zwartkop'. Catlin noted that the plant retained the red blush of color well if given bright light and when "grown hard" (meaning somewhat stressed). It was introduced through the International Succulent Introduction program in 1992 as ISI 92-27 and Huntington Botanic Garden # HBG 66756. Other Catlin hybrids with the same parentage are 'Plum Purdy' and 'Velour'. From 2006 to 2009 we grew another Aeonium that we called 'Blushing Beauty' because it was so tagged when we got it, but John Trager, the curator of the Huntington Botanic Garden Desert Garden, noted that what we had was not the real 'Blushing Beauty' and got us the real deal which we have been selling since 2015. The other plant we had was a nice, but this one is really special with is soft blush of color on slightly hairy pale green leaves. This description is based on our research and observations made of this plant as it grows in our nursery, in the nursery garden and in other gardens that we have visited. We will also incorporate comments received from others and always appreciate getting feedback of any kind from those who have some additional information about this plant, in particular if this information is contrary to what we have written or if they have additional cultural tips that would aid others in growing Aeonium 'Blushing Beauty'.
