Aloe "Turkish Delight"

This astounding large aloe cultivar is capable of producing 7 large inflorescences, some with up to 3 racemes, giving a graceful display of pink and white in late winter. The plant

is a clean, pale grey-green with recurving leaves. Although it appears stemless the plant will trail along the ground because of the weight of its rosette. For this reason it is well placed at the front of the rockery or landscaped area where it can overhang an edge or a rocky border. In this position the unique and delicate colours may best be appreciated. Although young plants may have short stems this is a vulnerable part of the plant and it should be given some support by wedging a rock under it or by planting at an angle so that the rosette touches the ground. (The spots on the plant in picture is a result of hail damage)
