Aloe 'Brown Betty' is an evergreen cactus / succulent with chocolate, red, variegated and white foliage. In winter green and salmon flowers emerge. Attracts hummingbirds. Grows well with sun and low water. Drought tolerant once established. Does well in gritty, rocky and well-drained soil.
Aloe 'Brown Betty', a hybrid succulent plant originating from Madagascar, boasts striking foliage and unique flowering characteristics. Typically reaching 4 to 6 inches wide, its rosettes feature reddish-brown leaves with cream spots in winter, transitioning to mid-green with retained spots from spring through fall. Flowering in spring and fall, it produces delicate inflorescences with whitish yellow buds striped green, maturing into salmon-colored flowers with green petal tips. Developed by Karen Zimmerman of the Huntington Botanical Gardens, 'Brown Betty' is a result of a cross between Aloe 'KG# 5' and 'Aumakua Mano'. Thriving in cool sun to light shade and requiring low water irrigation, this evergreen hybrid is moderately frost-tolerant, with a winter hardiness range of 25-30°F. 'Brown Betty' is primarily grown for ornamental purposes, adding visual interest to landscapes whether cultivated in containers or planted in garden beds.
