    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Originates from Zimbabwe where is grows in open grasslands at around 5,000 ft. This open hybrid may be a cross with Aloe excelsa. These specimens have grown quickly, appear to be single stemmed, and have thick, broad leaves making up what will likely become a large rosette. None have grown large enough to flower yet so that particular surprise awaits you.

    Grown in a 5ga pot and shipped "dry-root" ( no / or as little as possible soil)
