Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Aeonium plant named ‘Sun Dancer’ is disclosed, characterized by very even, concentric rosettes, comprised of an abundance of green leaves, colored marginally with creamy white, and arranged in an attractive, variegated geometric pattern. Further, the new cultivar ‘Sun Dancer’ freely offsets, enabling increased and faster propagation of the cultivar. In addition, the robust growth, in combination with the freely offsetting characteristic of the new cultivar ‘Sun Dancer’, results in the clusters at an early age, and therefore enhances production intervals. The new variety is an Aeonium , part of the Crassulaceae complex that includes Aeonium, Echeveria, Graptopetalum, Sedum and others. Aeonium is a popular genus, typically produced as container plants for the patio or as landscape plants.
