Aeonium haworthii
Also called Haworths Aeonium, Pinwheel
Haworth's aeonium is a densely branched, small succulent shrub from the Canary Islands, grown mainly as a houseplant or in frost-free gardens. Its key needs are full sun and very sparing watering.
Aeonium haworthii, also known as Haworth's aeonium or pinwheel, is a species of succulent flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae. It is grown as a houseplant in temperate regions. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit, as has the cultivar 'Variegatum'.
A. haworthii is native to the Canary Islands and northern Africa, but it has been introduced to other areas of similar climate, such as Southern California. In the US, it is suitable to be grown outside in USDA hardiness zones 9–11. This species is drought tolerant and prefers full sun. It is sometimes susceptible to aphids and mealybugs. It is a sand-dwelling beach plant, a subshrub with rough, woody stems and rosettes of thick, red-edged green leaves which are triangular or diamond- or spade-shaped.
