Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Aloe dawei hails from Uganda and is easily identifiable by its clumped upright stems, which can grow up to 3-4 feet in height. Its fleshy green leaves radiate outward in a rosette around 2 feet in diameter and are noted for the reddish-brown serrated teeth that line the margins. The leaves can take on a subtly coppery red hue when exposed to full sunlight and dry conditions.

The yellow flowered form of Aloe dawei is an attractive addition to gardens and planters, with winter flowers that can be appreciated for their vibrant color.
