Aeonium arboreum ‘Electra’ — Purple Pinwheel Aeonium for Sculptural Color

Aeonium arboreum ‘Electra’, commonly called Purple Pinwheel Aeonium, is a striking succulent known
for its rosette-shaped foliage and rich purple tones. Its bold form makes it a strong visual accent in
containers, succulent gardens, and low-water landscape plantings.

This Aeonium is a good choice for customers looking to add color and sculptural structure without relying
only on flowers. It pairs well with Agave, Echeveria, Sedum, and other waterwise plants in modern,
Mediterranean, and coastal-inspired gardens.
