Saw it in the botanic gardens at Williamstown and thought it looked nice.

Would like to know the name of it.

Can anyone help?

The long stems make me think this might be an aeonium.

If it’s done nothing wrong then it’s got nothing to worry about!

I reckon that’s more of an aeonium, not a sempervirens spp. Not all aeonia are purple - there’s a whole lot with nice different coloured edges like this one. The flowers are very like an aeonium. I’ve never seen a sempervirens flower so I dunno what such flowers would look like.
