Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Aloe 'Superman' is a large hybrid aloe originating from South Africa, known for its striking red tubular flowers in winter to early spring. It reaches heights of 3 to 4 feet with lanceolate green leaves that develop a red-orange tint and red teeth along the margins. The plant blooms profusely, producing reddish tubular flowers tightly arranged atop stout, branching inflorescences reaching 3 feet tall. This hybrid, resulting from a controlled cross between Aloe cameronii and Aloe ferox 'White' by Brent Wigand, thrives in full sun, requiring low to occasional irrigation. While tolerant of dry conditions, occasional watering enhances its appearance and flowering. Hardy down to 20-25°F, it adds vibrant color to gardens and landscapes, suitable for both outdoor planting and container gardening.
