Aeonium x anagense aka 'Pancakes'

Aeonium ×anagense, also known affectionately as 'Pancakes', stands out as a captivating hybrid succulent that brings a touch of exotic charm to any collection. Originating from the rugged coastlines of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, this plant is a natural cross between Aeonium lindleyi and Aeonium tabuliforme, flourishing at elevations around 450 meters. Its unique name, derived from the Macizo de Anaga mountain range, hints at its noble heritage and the scenic landscapes it calls home.

With its slender, upright stem and sparse branches culminating in flat rosettes, Aeonium ×anagense exhibits an elegant growth pattern. Each rosette showcases overlapping, green, velvety leaves, reaching up to 20 cm in height. The spoon-shaped leaves, up to 5 cm long and 2.5 cm wide, are thick and fleshy, adorned with a mix of long and short cilia along the margins, creating a stunning visual texture. In spring, Aeonium ×anagense produces pale yellow, star-shaped flowers in relaxed inflorescences, adding a splash of color to its already striking appearance.

Cultivating Aeonium ×anagense requires attention to its preference for full sun to partial shade conditions. It thrives in sandy loam or a regular potting mix amended with perlite to ensure proper drainage, especially as it appreciates more moisture compared to other succulents. This plant enjoys a mild climate, flourishing in temperatures between 18 and 24°C. During the warmer months, it's crucial to water it thoroughly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings, and to reduce watering in the winter to prevent root rot.

Propagating Aeonium ×anagense is straightforward, making it a rewarding endeavor for enthusiasts looking to expand their collection. Springtime cuttings, allowed to dry for several days before planting, promise new growth and opportunities to share this stunning succulent with friends and fellow gardeners.

Incorporating Aeonium ×anagense into your succulent garden or indoor collection not only adds a layer of visual interest with its unique 'pancake' rosettes but also invites a story of natural beauty and resilience. Whether displayed on a sunny windowsill or in a rockery garden, this succulent is sure to captivate and inspire.
