Aeonium calderense

A rosette succulent from La Palma in the Canary Islands, formally named in 2023; the name points to the Caldera de Taburiente. Like other Canarian Aeonium it grows in the cool, moist winter and slows down or goes dormant in the dry summer, so grow it bright and cool, and keep it fairly dry in summer.
