This pot plant sized cultivar bears clusters of lemon yellow flowers that show off beautifully against its dark green foliage. It ranks...

among the most beautiful aloe hybrids. The leaves have a reddish brown spiny margin that adds to the plant's neat appearance. The flowers start opening from late Autumn and remain well into the colder months. A mature plant, standing about 20cm tall, can produce 3 branched inflorescences, the first followed in rapid succession by the others. It should be sheltered from frost when planted in the open.
