Aeonium lindleyi (Lindley's Giant Houseleek)

Aeonium lindleyi (Lindley's Giant Houseleek)

30cm, Lindley's Giant Houseleek is found on the souther and northern sides of the Anaga Mountain Range in the Northwest of Tenerife. It is one of the smaller species, growing only up to some 30cm in height. It occurs in the succulent shrub formation together with several Euphorbia spp. and Aeonium canariense at some 500m to 700m. This species has a very strong and pleasant balsamiferous fragrance. Its sap is used to heal wounds caused by the poisonous latex sap of the Euphorbia species, which share its habitat on Tenerife. It has larger, but fewer yellow flowers as other Aeonium species which will show in July and August. Igueste de San Andrés, 400 m.

Reviewed by Gordon M. from Ballarat, Australia

It seems that two distinct forms of this species have germinated. I'm also very pleased with the germination rate of all your aeonium seed. In some cases close to 100% so I have a lot of give-aways.
