Description

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.

Water Saving Tip:

Mulching and adding compost to soil can minimize evaporation and help soil absorb and store water.
