This is a beautifully structured, small to medium sized plant with up-curving green leaves and prominent...

white spines. As the name indicates it is an Aloe Reitzii hybrid that can produce its tall red flowers any time from late January o June, the late summer months being its main season. The racemes are not only very long for such a small plant, they last for a very long time as well. It is capable of dealing with colder conditions than many other aloes of similar size.
