Aloe striata

The Coral Aloe. An almost stemless aloe that has dense rosettes of lance shaped fleshy leaves. The edge of the leaves has a distinct margine that turns quite pink when kept very dry during the summer. Height 1m and spread 75cm. In the spring it will produce a branching flower spike above the plant that will open to a beautiful mass of orange/red flowers. It's best planted in a free draining soil/compost great in the garden or a pot but best in a warm sunny position to get the best results. Protect from hard frosts, hardy to minus 3c.
