#MEIAZKA Aeonium simsii is a well-branched succulent that forms dense clumps of short, stout branches that end in cup-shaped rosettes of yellowish-green leaves with longitudinal brownish stripes on the lower surface and conical cilia along the margins. It grows up to 12 inches (30 cm) tall. Rosettes are up to 4.8 inches (12 cm) in diameter. Leaves are thick, fleshy, lance-shaped, up to 2.4 inches (6 cm) long, and 0.8 inches (2 cm) wide. They may sometimes have a purplish-brown line down the middle of the upper surface. The flowers are yellow, star-shaped, 7- to 9-merous, and appear in spring in flat-topped (or nearly so) clusters on densely leafy stalks that can grow up to 12 inches (30 cm) tall.
