Aeonium arboreum, the tree aeonium,[2] tree houseleek, or Irish rose, is a succulent, subtropical subshrub in the flowering plant family Crassulaceae. It is native to the hillsides of the Canary Islands, where it is known as bejeque arboreo and introduced in the Mediterranean[3] It bears rosettes of leaves and large pyramidal panicles of bright yellow flowers in the spring. In temperate regions it needs to be grown under glass.[4] The purple cultivar 'Zwartkop' ('Schwartzkopf') has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[5] and a variegated form is grown as cultivar 'variegatum'.
