Drought tolerant when established. It is considered to be a hybrid between Aloe nobillis and Aloe humillis. This aloe forms attractive small rosettes with dense, lanceolate deep green leaves with long, translucent marginal teeth. Clusters freely to form clumps quickly. Excellent as patio plant or in rock gardens.
Porous soil with adequate drainage. Bright light to full sun with ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Protect from frost.
