Nursery contributed plant descriptions
This maculate Aloe is of unknown parentage but sure is pretty! We only have a few. They have been stealthily growing hidden among their peers to avoid detection. The parent plant was about 2ft x 2ft.
This plant has been grown in a 6" pot. You will receive a very similar plant to the one in the picture. The plant is shipped "dry-root"
