Aloe buettneri

Aloe buettneri is an evergreen cactus / succulent with green and red foliage. In fall and winter orange and red flowers emerge. Attracts beneficial insects and hummingbirds. Grows well with sun - mostly sun and occasional - low water. Drought tolerant once established. Prefers to be dry in winter. Does well in average, gritty, lean, rocky and well-drained soil. A good option if you're seeking something heat tolerant and verticillium wilt resistant.
