  • Description

  • Notes

Medium-sized aloe grows to 3' x 3'. Tends to clump, with new rosettes forming at the base of older plants. The leaves have small, dull teeth that line the leaf margins. Blooms orange-red from winter through spring. This has perfomed well in the low desert in Phoenix and can be quite drought tolerant. The early spring flowering is fairly showy.
