Aloe spectabilis - 4in

Aloe spectabilis is a single-stemmed succulent native to South Africa, once classified as a variety of Aloe marlothii but now recognized as its own species. It has a solitary trunk that can reach 10 feet tall, with blue-green leaves up to 3 feet long. These leaves form a dense rosette, adorned with reddish-brown spines. In late fall through winter, the plant produces bright tubular flowers in yellow to orange or red, arranged in dense clusters that attract pollinators. Aloe spectabilis is native to rocky, dry slopes in KwaZulu-Natal and surrounding regions. It thrives in well-drained soil, tolerating dry, arid conditions and requiring minimal watering once established. The plant is frost-sensitive, with damage occurring below 25°F. It’s best suited for USDA zones 9-11. Commonly used in xeriscapes and rock gardens, it pairs well with other drought-resistant plants and contributes to pollinator-friendly landscapes due to its nectar-rich blooms.
