If you bring it indoors for the winter, without sunlight, it turns plain green, so a sunny windowsill would be good.

Thanks for your help.I have had it on the top of my water butt all Summer & it has produced lots of rosettes in that time.

Won't survive the winter outdoors though... as Bamboo says will need a sunny windowsill and keep moist.

Its easy to propagate new plants from the rosettes. Each rosette can be a separate plant.

Aeonium arboreum 'Schwarzkop' a native of the Canary Isles... Is frost tender so needs to be in a cool greenhouse for most of the year.
Take a look at he RHS info:

Has been seen occasionally on the SRGC show benches but not accepted as is no hardy.
