    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Aloe striata, commonly known as 'Coral Aloe', is a compact, stemless South African succulent. Reaching heights of up to 18 inches (45 cm) and spreading up to 2 feet (60 cm) wide, it forms rosettes of broad, flat, pale gray-green leaves that display varying hues depending on sun exposure.

    In late winter to early spring, Aloe striata blooms with striking coral-red flowers on up to three 2-foot (60 cm) tall branching stems. This small-scale clumping aloe adds bold textural accents, suitable for full sun to partial shade. It's an excellent choice for ground cover, succulent or rock gardens, and thrives as a patio container or walkway plant.

    This easy Aloe has great Fall color! The margins of the toothless (or nearly toothless) leaves go pink when it gets cold! The rest of the year it is an easy on the eyes grey-greenish blue. The rosettes of the plant are suckering & eventually form colonies to 3’ wide, but the height remains a pretty consistent 1-2’. Bloom time is in late Winter & the flowers are borne in showy clusters on 2’ stems, in a strong & vibrant coral color. From South Africa, this species also has the distinction of not being particularly picky about where it grows, tolerating dry conditions, a regularly watered situation, full sun, part shade & whatever soil you happen to have on hand.
