🌱 Morphology: Variegated cultivar of shrubby habit, with short, branched stems ending in compact, fleshy, almost floral-looking rosettes, up to about 30 cm. The spatulate and slightly ciliate leaves have a green center combined with cream, reddish, pink, and purple areas. With plenty of light and cool temperatures, the colors intensify, reaching burgundy and purple tones. It readily produces offsets and can form clumps of several "roses."

🌍 Distribution and habitat: It is a British horticultural hybrid. The original 'Cornish Rose' was found by Surreal Succulents in 2015 growing on a cliff in Cornwall (UK), apparently the result of a natural hybridization of indeterminate origin, and was introduced into cultivation in 2017. The variegated form is a later selection, also marketed as 'Chanel'. Family Crassulaceae.

❄️ Hardiness: USDA approximately 9b–11b. For cultivation in Spain, we recommend keeping it above 5 °C and especially dry during cold nights. It can tolerate occasional drops close to 0 °C when dry, but not frost.

☀️ Light: Approximate target 15–25 mol·m⁻²·day⁻¹ DLI-PAR during growth. It needs plenty of light to maintain variegation and develop red, pink, and purple tones. In Madrid, protect from intense midday sun during heatwaves.

💧 Cycle and watering: Growth mainly from autumn to spring, with significant slowing during summer. 'Cornish Rose' has the particularity of partially closing its rosettes during summer heat as a protection mechanism. During growth, water abundantly and let the substrate dry completely before the next watering. Significantly reduce watering during summer.

🌸 Flowering: The flowering of the variegated form is poorly documented. If it flowers, one can expect the small yellow flowers characteristic of Aeonium. The plant can continue through its offsets.

🌿 Nutrition: During growth, Desert CHOICE at a moderate dose. Reduce or suspend fertilization during summer dormancy.
