Aloe striata
'Coral Aloe'
This species is not only very showy when in flower but also
during the rest of the year on account of its attractive foliage.
| Uses: | Ideal for rockeries and general landscaping and looks fantastic in a decorative pot. |
| Flowers: | It flowers during the winter months with a bright attractive display of coral red flowers borne on tall flat-topped inflorescences. |
| Growth Habit: | Aloe striata is a stemless rosette form with wide flat tapered glaucous green leaves. The foliage of this species lacks the teeth common on most Aloe and has instead a smooth pinkish margin without any teeth. |
| Growing Guide: | A popular and most rewarding garden plant. It is relatively easy to cultivate under a wide variety of climatic conditions provided it is planted in a well-drained situation in full sun and given adequate water but not over-watered. It can withstand extreme frost and prolonged drought. |
