Aeonium Medusa is one of the most dramatic modern variegated Aeoniums, prized for its boldly coloured rosettes. Each rosette is built from broad, spoon-shaped leaves with a fresh green centre and creamy margins that flush intense pink-red to deep burgundy in strong light, giving the plant an almost luminous, two-tone glow.

Her colours shift with the seasons and the sun: in lower light she stays soft green and cream, while bright light and cooler months deepen the margins to rich crimson and burgundy. Vigorous and freely branching, she makes a striking specimen for containers and collector displays alike.
