    Aloe peglerae plant details

    Aloe peglerae is an evergreen cactus / succulent with blue and green foliage. In winter orange and red flowers emerge. Features glaucous texture. 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 gritty, lean, rocky and well-drained soil.

    Endangered aloe species from South Africa. Large growing, blue fleshy leaves with thorny undersides. Shorter, fat flower spike with red tubular flowers. Curls up into nice, closed rosette when stressed from drought.

    This Aloe is so wacky! The leaves curl inward dramatically to form a nest around the flowering stalk. The leaves are a nice blue-grey color with spines. The flowers are orangy-red & bloom in the Winter. The rosette remains small & stemless & remains tightly clasped under dry situations. If it gets regular water the rosette will be more open. Aloe peglerae is endangered in its native environments in South Africa. It is named after Alice Pegler (1861-1929), a teacher, botanist & plant collector in South Africa. Needs good drainage & should be kept dry in Winter for optimum health.
