Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Aloe ‘Minnie Belle’ is an extra spiky Aloe species that features deep green rosettes with lance-shaped leaves lined with white teeth and covered in spots. The plump, succulent leaves will flush out to a coppery tone when moderately stressed. Full sun and drought conditions will contribute to this. In summer, it may sprout coral pink blooms on tall, thin stalks. 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 ‘Snowstorm’ is especially happy sitting on your windowsill as a houseplant. Protect your PRINCE OF PARADISE™ from frost!
