Aloe "Johnson's Hybrid" - 1ga

Aloe 'Johnson's Hybrid' is a small, clumping succulent known for its narrow green leaves with white spots and marginal teeth, along with its year-round orange flowers. Likely a hybrid of Aloe bellatula and Aloe thompsoniae, it thrives in well-drained, drought-tolerant soils and adapts to various light conditions, making it suitable for rock gardens, borders, or containers. The plant grows less than a foot tall and spreads up to 2 feet wide, forming dense clumps that can be used as ground cover. Its evergreen foliage can turn coppery-bronze at times. Aloe 'Johnson's Hybrid' blooms year-round in frost-free areas, with orange tubular flowers on 12-inch racemes that attract hummingbirds. In cooler climates, flowering is most prominent during fall, spring, and summer. This hybrid was first obtained from the Huntington Botanical Gardens in 1984 and may be named after Harry Johnson of Johnson Cactus Gardens, though its exact origins remain unverified. Aloe 'Johnson's Hybrid' prefers full sun to light shade and tolerates a variety of soils, though it should be planted where water drains well. It is hardy to 15-20°F, surviving brief frosts, and is ideal for USDA zones 9a-11. Its compact form and year-round color make it a good choice for low-water gardens, pairing well with other succulents and perennials.
