Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A solitary rosette-forming Aloe that grows a trunk to as tall as 3 feet and topped with an 18 inch to 3 feet wide head of light bluish-green leaves.
In late fall into winter the single branching inflorescence reaches to 6 feet and rises above the leaves with conical racemes of bright red flowers.

Note - I was recently informed that the batch of seeds these grew from were likely hybrids. It's not clear what the parentage is - but based on the form it could have been a tree aloe of some kind. Still a very cool plant!
