Gorgeous aloe hybrid, a Proven Winners selection with rosettes of striking succulent leaves, white-edged with white markings - elongated spots -- on green, eventually reaching 6-8" tall and wide. Best in well drained soil in full to part sun. Frost hardy only to 25F, mid USDA zone 9, so best kept in containers to be moved indoors in winter. Both heat and drought tolerant in the ground. Let potted plants dry a bit before watering. A nice addition to the succulent collection outdoors or in.
