From South Africa, and mostly from Mpumalanga Province, this is one of the striking Aloes in terms of form and flowers. The rosettes typically are solitary, bearing gray-green leaves. When young, the leaves have significant tubercles (spines) on the leaves, particularly the outer surfaces, but these tend to be restricted to near the tips in the older leaves. The flowers are spectacular and borne in branched inflorescences with closely appressed, downward-facing flowers of a silvery red appearance. This is one of the best Aloes in terms of flowers, which typically occur in late summer in Tucson. We‘ve had plants out at 20F with no damage. These plants are seedlings in 2-inch pots.
