It’s very confusing, all the different types of aeoniums. For instance, the popular “Schwartzkopf” is a cultivar off a subspecies off a species. So it could be properly called Aeonium arboreum ssp. atropurpureum c.v. “Schwartzkopf”. And then we have our own cultivar off that! very subtle differences.
Here’s our current list starting with A. arboreum.

Aeonium arboreum

Aeonium atropurpureum

Aeonium “Schwartzkopf”

Aeonium “Whippet” – Yes, this is our own cultivar that we developed off a sport from one of our “Shwartzkopf”s. very interesting.
more aeoniums tomorrow…

I have what I assumed was an ‘Atropurpureum’ (though unbranching….) that looks more like ‘Whippet’. I wonder what it is.
