Aeonium nobile is a special kind of plant that stores water in its leaves, making it a succulent. It's a flowering plant that grows in warm, sunny places, also known as subtropical areas. This plant belongs to the Crassulaceae family, which includes many other succulents. You can only find Aeonium nobile growing naturally on La Palma, one of the beautiful Canary Islands. It likes to live on dry hillsides and cliffs, sometimes as high as 800 meters (about 2,600 feet) above sea level.

Aeonium nobile thrives in dry areas, often clinging to rocky slopes and cliffs. It can be found from sea level up to about 800 meters high.
