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.

Frost tolerant to 20 F.
