Aloe 'Dragon' - 1ga

Sold out for now - we are saving the rest of these plants for propagation.

Aloe 'Dragon' is a compact, highly ornamental Aloe hybrid with sculptural blue-green leaves adorned with pink tubercles and spines. Originally bred at the Huntington Botanical Gardens by Karen Zimmerman—known for her pioneering work in hybrid aloe breeding—this rare selection brings fine texture and vivid color to small garden spaces and container displays.

Zimmerman, a longtime succulent propagator at the Huntington, developed 'Dragon' as part of her early efforts to create aloes with ornate foliage and fantasy-like form. This cultivar was introduced in 2010 through the Huntington’s International Succulent Introductions (ISI) program and remains a favorite among collectors.

Tight rosettes grow up to 8 inches wide on short upright stems, staying under 1 foot tall overall. In spring, slender flower spikes rise up to 2 feet bearing orange-red blooms with green tips. Drought-tolerant and well suited to full sun or bright shade with excellent drainage.

Cold-hardy to around 25–30°F. Best in USDA Zone 9 and up, or grown in containers that can be sheltered in winter. A standout choice for collectors and design-focused plantings.

This plant has been grown in a 1ga pot. You will receive a very similar plant to the one in the picture. The plant is shipped "dry-root" (with out soil).
