Aloe branddraaiensis - 4in

Seedlings are currently growing - estimated availability is Summer 2025

Aloe branddraaiensis, hailing from the Mpumalanga Province of South Africa, stands out as one of the most remarkable spotted aloes. Winter-flowering, it displays a branched inflorescence forming a panicle adorned with numerous clusters of tubular red flowers. Recognizable by its light green leaves marked with white striations and sharp reddish-brown or orange-brown marginal spines, this aloe often forms a simple rosette, occasionally giving rise to offshoots at the base. The leaves, reaching up to 14 inches in length and 4 inches in width, feature whitish spots and may exhibit a purple or reddish tinge under increased light levels. Slow to moderate in growth, it seldom exceeds 12 inches in height, excluding inflorescences, and may form small clumps through suckering. During flowering, two or three flower stalks emerge from a single rosette, boasting highly branched inflorescences adorned with brilliant red flower racemes, adding to its ornamental appeal. Native to the grass and bushland of the Northern Province and Mpumalanga, South Africa, Aloe branddraaiensis thrives with at least a half-day of sun and requires protection from temperatures below 27°F (-3°C). While it prefers dry winters, it can adapt to winter-rainfall climates with proper drainage and occasional watering during its summer growing season. With its attractive spotted leaves and resilience to drought, Aloe branddraaiensis finds utility in ornamental gardening, container cultivation, ground cover, and landscaping in mild climates, adding a touch of allure to gardens with its spotted fantasy of colors and long-lasting cut flowers.
