Mellie Lewis holds a National Plant Collection of Aeonium in Shropshire. This collection is held in a private garden and conservatory and in a greenhouse over winter. Mellie won the public vote in our Threatened Plant of the Year 2020 competition with Aeonium 'Bronze Teacup'.
Find out about some of the fascinating 35 succulent plant species of Aeonium, also known as tree houseleeks, all with unusually glossy, waxy leaves arranged in rosettes.
Mellie is looking forward to giving you updates on her National Collection and its developments throughout the year.
