This aloe hybrid is many gardeners' idea of what a perfect aloe should be: multiple inflorescences with tall red racemes arranged in a perfect candlestick formation. Although...

it may take some time, the grey-leaved plant will eventually grow a tall stem, thereby adding stature to its flowering performance. As with most quality hybrids of this size, the plant will produce its first flower while still young, and given the right conditions, improve on its flowering annually for many years.
