    Aeonium lindleyi var. viscatum 'Irish Bouquet' forms tight, symmetrical green rosettes that cluster freely over time, creating a lush, bouquet-like mound that lives up to its name. The small, spoon-shaped leaves are slightly sticky and aromatic, arranged in neat spirals with delicate fringed edges that catch the light beautifully.

    Aeonium lindleyi var. viscatum 'Irish Bouquet' produces cheerful yellow flowers on upright cone-shaped inflorescences, typically in late winter to spring.
