Aeonium haworthii 'Dream Color', also known as Aeonium 'Kiwi', is a striking succulent shrub with short, slender stems that have rosettes of colorful leaves at its ends. It can reach up to 3 feet (90 cm) in height when in bloom, while the rosettes can grow up to 5 inches (12.5 cm) in diameter. The leaves are fleshy, spoon-shaped, serrated, creamy-yellow in the center of the rosette, gradually changing to soft green on the outside, with a thin rose-red band at the edges.
Aeoniums do not like hot or dry weather. Therefore, they may go dormant in summer and not require any water except in arid conditions. In extreme heat, their leaves will curl to prevent excessive water loss. Growing them in moist shade will keep them growing, but their true growth season is winter to spring when temperatures are cool, 65 to 75 °F (18 to 24 °C), and damp. In the winter, water whenever the soil has dried out. Test by poking your finger into the soil an inch or 2 (2.5 to 5 cm). Too much moisture or allowing them to sit in wet soil will cause root rot.
