Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A robust, branching shrub reaching 4-5 feet tall and 6-8 feet wide. Its gray-green leaves arch gracefully, adorned with pale teeth along the edges. In late winter to mid-spring, enjoy its striking two-toned flowers in tall racemes. Thrives in full sun to light shade, well-drained soil, and requires minimal watering. Hardy to at least 25°F, proven resilient even in freezing conditions. This exceptional hybrid, possibly a cross between Aloe lutescens and Aloe arborescens, is named in tribute to Carpinteria, California.
