Plant in full coastal sun to light shade in a well-drained soil and irrigate occasionally. Has proven hardy to short duration temperatures down to 25° F. A nice tight growing succulent that is good for a spot in the succulent garden or as a container specimen.

This hybrid was created by eminent southern California horticulturist Jack Catlin in 1976 by crossing Aeonium canariense with Aeonium arboreum 'Zwartkop'. Catlin noted that the plant retained the red blush of color well if given bright light and also when "grown hard" (meaning somewhat stressed). It was introduced through the International Succulent Introduction program in 1992 as ISI 92-27 and Huntington Botanic Garden # HBG 66756. It was awarded the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit in 2012. Other Catlin hybrids with the same parentage are 'Plum Aeonium Purdy' and Aeonium 'Velour'.

From 2006 to 2009 we grew another Aeonium that we called 'Blushing Beauty' because it was so tagged when we got it, but John Trager, the curator of the Huntington Botanic Garden Desert Garden, noted that what we had was not the real 'Blushing Beauty' and got us the actual plant, which we have been selling since 2015. The other plant we had was a nice, but this one is really special with its soft blush of color on slightly hairy pale green leaves. 

The information about Aeonium 'Blushing Beauty' that is displayed on this web page is based on research conducted in our nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We will also include observations made about this plant as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens that we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We also incorporate comments that we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they share cultural information that aids others growing this plant.
