  • Posted by Baja_Costero (Baja California - Zone 11b) on May 12, 2020 11:37 PM concerning plant:
    Low, clumping green aloe hybrid with orange-red flowers. Leaves have white spots and prickles on upper and lower surfaces. Offsets appear very close to the base of older stems. Parentage: A. x nobilis x A. humilis var. echinata (now a synonym of A. humilis). The humilis parent is responsible for the prickles and helps explain the tightly associated offsets. Easily propagated from cuttings, well behaved in containers (up to the point where multiple heads outgrow them), nice low habit in the garden and reliable flowers.
