The coral-like clusters of red flowers make this a spectacular aloe cultivar. It is a large, easy-to-grow tall stemming plant

with beautifully structured, chunky grey-green leaves that sometimes have a pinkish hue in winter. It can take a few years before a proper trunk is formed. As a feature plant in gardens or landscaping it excels in every respect. Indeed, it is hard to imagine anything that could surpass its mass of bright red flowers.
