Aeonium undulatum
Also called Giant Aeonium
Aeonium undulatum, the saucer-plant or giant aeonium, is a large evergreen succulent from Gran Canaria with a tall, unbranched stem topped by a wavy rosette of glossy green leaves. It needs full sun or bright light, sharp drainage, and little water, and it dies after flowering once, usually after about 5 years.
Aeonium undulatum is a succulent, evergreen flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae. It is a subshrub, one of the larger species of Aeonium with an 8–12 inches (200–300 mm) rosette of bright, glossy green leaves often over a metre from the ground on a single, unbranched stem. Other rosettes do not branch off this stem (normally) but grow from the bottom, unlike most aeoniums. The plant is monocarpic so the flowering stem will die after producing its yellow inflorescence, which is normally after about 5 years.
Aeonium undulatum is native and endemic to Gran Canaria in the Canary islands.
