Aeonium 'Kiwi' is a compact variegated cultivar prized for its cream, yellow-green, and pink-tipped rosettes — the colour pattern intensifies with cooler weather and strong light.

About This Cultivar

'Kiwi' belongs to a family of variegated Aeonium cultivars developed from tricolour sports of green-leaved parent species. Each rosette shows a gradient — pink at the tips, cream through the middle, and green at the base — giving it a distinctive "sunset" appearance that shifts seasonally.

Care Basics

  • Light: Bright, direct-to-indirect light; more sun than solid-green Aeonium to hold colour, but avoid harsh midday summer sun
  • Water: Soak-and-dry; reduce watering when semi-dormant in summer heat
  • Propagation: Stem cuttings, though variegated sections can revert to solid green over time and should be removed if they appear
  • Common issue: Colour fading in low light — move to a brighter position

Common Questions

Aeonium 'Kiwi' — what buyers ask

Aeonium 'Kiwi' is a compact variegated cultivar with cream, yellow-green, and pink-tipped rosettes — the colour pattern shifts with light intensity and season, with pink deepening under stronger light and cooler temperatures.
'Kiwi' itself is not a fixed line in our current catalogue, but we grow several tricolour and variegated Aeonium hybrids with a similar cream/pink/green colour pattern, such as 'Autumn Hues' and 'Candy Heart'. Share a reference photo and we'll confirm the closest match in stock.
Bright light is essential — variegated forms typically need more direct sun than solid-green Aeonium to hold their pink and cream tones, but harsh midday sun in hot climates can scorch the thinner variegated tissue.
