This tiny Aloe relative is a clump forming shade loving plant which produces short 6" spikes that are topped with dainty white tubular flowers in spring. Easy to grow and even though it is a succulent it does prefer average moisture in well-drained soils. Use as groundcover beneath larger plants or in mixed container gardens and rock gardens, indoors or out where hardy.
