Sunburst Succulent is a unique and vibrant-looking succulent that makes a great houseplant or garden container plant. Their rosettes of variegated foliage edged in pink to red are beautiful and eye-catching. Known as Aeonium percarneum and part of the Crassulaceae or stonecrop family, this plant is native to the Canary Islands. Sunburst Succulent has spoon-shaped leaves on a branching habit. The plant is monocarpic, which means that it dies after flowering.
Best Locations For Growing Sunburst Succulent
Sunburst Succulent makes a great houseplant or container plant for the outdoor patio or garden. If using indoors, place Sunburst in a southern-facing window for best results. Sunburst Succulent is generally non-toxic and safe for pets and children.
Sunburst Succulent Sunlight Requirements
Sunburst Succulent like full direct sun to partial shade. It can be grown indoors if given enough light. Full sun turns the pink leaf edges to a deeper red.
Sunburst Succulent Care
Sunburst Succulent is a low-maintenance houseplant that thrives on neglect like other succulents. Sunburst Succulent requires well-drained loamy or sandy soil. They do not appreciate overly hot weather and will go dormant in the summertime. This succulent likes to be pot bound and needs to be repotted only every two or three years. Sunburst can bruise easily with moderate impact or movement; the bruised foliage can be removed.
Watering Sunburst Succulent
Sunburst has low water needs since it is a succulent. Allow the soil to dry out completely before watering thoroughly. Do not overwater this succulent. They need less water in the summertime during their dormant period. Sunburst Succulent likes lower humidity levels but does not tolerate hot and dry conditions.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
