Aloe falcata - 4in

Aloe falcata (Aloaceae) is a summer-flowering species native to the Vanrhynsdorp area. It has become a popular choice for dry garden plantings due to its low-growing, compact habit and outwardly-pointing rosette of leaves. These leaves boast a bluish hue, while the branched inflorescence produces up to a dozen erect flower spikes of dull, brick-red to pinkish-red color. Rarely, pure yellow flowers are observed. What makes this aloe remarkable is that it flowers during the harshest, drought-prone time of year.
