Hi,

I have an aeonium schwarzkopf which was dark purple at the beginning of
the
year having over wintered in a small green house. Despite trying it in all
types of locations it has become progressively green over the summer. It
is
planted in a small pot in sand enriched soil. Any input would be welcome.

Val

To stay a good colour it needs full sun conditions which has been a bit in
short supply this summer!
