Aeonium lindleyi var. viscatum 'Irish Bouquet' is a succulent from the Crassulaceae family, native to the Canary Islands where it grows on rocky slopes and cliff faces in warm, dry conditions. This rare cultivar has earned a devoted following among collectors and beginners alike for its easygoing nature and visual appeal.
It forms tight, symmetrical green rosettes that cluster freely over time, creating a bouquet-like mound that lives up to its name. The small, spoon-shaped leaves are slightly sticky and aromatic, arranged in neat spirals with fringed edges. As a miniature aeonium, its compact clustering habit makes it visually satisfying in any indoor setting.
Aeonium 'Irish Bouquet' produces yellow flowers on upright cone-shaped inflorescences, typically in late winter to spring. Blooming is encouraged by a noticeable drop in nighttime temperatures, a natural cue that triggers the plant's flowering cycle. Like all aeoniums, individual rosettes are monocarpic, meaning a rosette that blooms will eventually die back, but the surrounding offsets carry on.
Move it outside in summer to soak up bright light, and bring it under cover in autumn since it needs protection from rain and frost. You can leave it up to ten days without water. Sensitive to being moved, it may briefly sulk after relocation, but it settles in quickly once acclimated. This drought tolerant succulent is pet friendly and safe for cats and dogs, though it does produce pollen, which may be relevant for allergy-sensitive households.

Aeonium lindleyi var. viscatum 'Irish Bouquet' grows well in bright indirect light, partial sun, or full sun, ideally near an east or west-facing window. Rotate regularly for even, balanced rosette growth, and note that prolonged direct south-facing window exposure can scorch the leaves.
Water it every 10-14 days during the growing season, reduced to once a month or less during summer dormancy. Let the soil dry out completely between waterings.
Aeonium 'Irish Bouquet' does best in a well-draining cactus and succulent mix blended with 30-50% perlite to prevent root rot.
It prefers temperatures between 65-75°F and should be protected from frost below 28°F. Keep it away from air conditioning vents and heating units, though it tolerates dry heated air reasonably well.
