Aloe rubroviolacea, or Arabian Aloe, is a clumping succulent native to the mountains of Yemen and Saudi Arabia, renowned for its adaptability to arid climates and striking aesthetic qualities. It forms 2-foot-wide rosettes with thick, arching blue-green leaves that develop vibrant red and purple hues under sun exposure and drought stress. Mature clumps can grow up to 6 feet wide and 3 feet tall, spreading through offsets, while older plants exhibit a slightly sprawling habit. Blooming from late fall through winter, it produces dense spikes of waxy orange-red flowers on unbranched or lightly branched stalks, creating a vibrant seasonal display, though flowers are sensitive to frost. Native to rocky slopes above 7,000 feet, this Aloe adapts well to flat cultivation and thrives in full sun with well-drained soil, requiring minimal irrigation and some snail protection. Hardy to 20–25°F, it endures light frosts, though blooms are more sensitive. Ideal for arid and Mediterranean-style gardens, it serves as a colorful accent, groundcover, or clumping focal point, thriving in xeriscapes and other water-efficient landscapes. Its dramatic foliage and winter flowers make it a year-round ornamental asset.

This plant has been grown in a 4" pot. You will receive a very similar plant to the one in the picture. The plant is shipped "dry-root" (without soil).
