Aloe 'Viper' - 1ga

A vivid, compact hybrid with raised orange-red tubercles over firm green leaves—Aloe 'Viper' lives up to its name with a fierce, reptilian look. Bred by aloe hybridizer Kelly Griffin and introduced through Xeric Growers Nursery, this plant is part of a new generation of aloes prized more for foliage than flowers.

Tight rosettes reach about 12 inches tall and wide, forming clusters over time. The leaves are textured on both surfaces with prominent red bumps that give the plant a bold, sculptural appearance. Winter flowers are orange and subtle, rising just above the foliage.

Best in full sun to light shade with well-drained soil. Water deeply but infrequently. Performs well in containers or dry garden beds. Cold hardy to 25–30°F (USDA Zone 9b+); protect from hard frost.

An ideal choice for collectors, containers, and succulent gardens where unusual form and texture are the main attraction.

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).
