Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Aloe camperi, commonly known as Popcorn Aloe is one of the few Aloes that has verdant green leaves. This unusual African Aloe forms rambling colonies of 2’ high and wide rosettes with long, narrow, serrated, evergreen, succulent leaves.

An established colony of Aloe camperi in full bloom is truly a thing of beauty! 'Popcorn Aloe' blooms later in the season than most Aloes, so it is a nice extension of the flowering season going more into the spring than other Aloes which tend to be winter bloomers. This plant reliably produces 3 foot tall branched inflorescences with an abundance of salmon-orange buds that open to yellow flowers from the bottom up.
