    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Very small (and adorable) component of the South African Aloe family, this the variegated sport of the species. Each rosette to only 4 inches silvery green streaked and dotted with deep green markings spreading to form tight colonies. Orange and green flowers shaped, indeed, like cute little stomachs held on upright stems. Frost hardy to low to mid 20’s, mid USDA zone 9. Otherwise, a fabulous container plant.
