About Aeonium 'Medusa'
Aeonium 'Medusa' is a succulent plant belonging to the Crassulaceae family, known for its striking visual appeal.

Its color changes throughout the year are truly incredible; transitioning from rich "reds" in the height of summer to milky whites in autumn and winter, with shades nearing pink. Flowering has not been observed to date.
