    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Aloe ‘Orange Marmalade’ is a striking succulent with star-shaped, blue green rosettes covered in orange bumps and lined with small, jagged teeth. The leaves tend to be flat with a slight downward arch. The blue green and orange colors are more prevalent when the plant is stressed by drought and intense sunlight. Aloe are small, slow-growing, low maintenance plants. Provide a well-drained soil away from reflected heat. Once established, water infrequently during the hot season. Ideal in warm climate landscapes and container gardens. Aloe ‘Orange Marmalade’ is especially happy sitting on your windowsill as a houseplant. Protect your PRINCE OF PARADISE™ from frost!

    A Kelly Griffin hybrid with outstanding colors! Yellow - Green foliage with orange teeth. Very nice hybrid, growing to 10" to 12" in the ground, half that size in a pot.

    A very appropriate name for a striking Aloe hybrid. The dark blue-green leaves are streaked with "frilly" orange bumps, all framed with serrated, frilly orange edges. Stocky plants.
