Suncup is a very cute variety that grows quite small and is perfect for containers. Description Aeonium Suncup grows as mini shrub with the main stem branching out and ending in a rosettes type arrangement. Each rosette can measure up to about 10 cm, depending on conditions it’s grown in. Plants in shade can measure wider and longer leaves whereas plants grown in full sun will be more compact and smaller. This cultivar usually grows to approximately 20cm height and width. The leaves are green, cream with pink edges if the plant is grown in sun. Plants grown in the shade tend not to develop the pink edges that the sun grown plants have. Young rosettes form in a circle around more mature rosettes and eventually branch out. The flowering of this plant can be random, depending on the age and location of the plant. Most of the time Aeonium Suncup flowers in late winter-early spring. A cone of yellow flowers will grow out of the centre of the rosette. The flowers last for approximately a month then the rosette will die. The flower spike, including the rosette it is shooting out off can be cut down completely. It is unlikely the whole plant will die when flowers appear, only the rosettes that have flowered. Propagation Aeonium Suncup easily propagates by cuttings. The best time to propagate is in early spring. As with most Aeoniums, Aeonium Suncup is a summer dormant plant and difficult to propagate during the summer months. After cutting an offset or a branch, leave in a shaded, dry spot for about 24 hours and then plant either directly in the garden or in succulent potting mix in a pot. Keep in bright shade with a bit of morning sun/filtered light to maintain the colour and hardiness of the plant. Roots should appear in 3-4 weeks. Position & Care Aeonium Suncup is a bit more delicate than other Aeoniums and can really suffer during summer. It is recommended that this plant is kept in bright shade/ under 30% shadecloth over the hottest days of summer and not exposed to sun. It should also be watered if the soil has been dry for a while. The best position for this plant is morning sun, however, it can also be grown in bright shade. Plants in shade will grow larger, longer leave with less colour and plants in sun will grow compact and will develop a pink edge. In the cooler months, Suncup will happily grow in full sun. Aeonium Suncup is not frost tolerant and will die if exposed to freezing temperatures. If grown in cold climate countries, Suncup can be brought indoors for the worst of winter. Aeonium Suncup is suitable to plant in shaded part of a garden as well as in pots. Pot plants should be kept in bright shade in summer.
