Aloe aristata 'Lace Aloe'

Aloe aristata, also commonly known as Aristaloe aristata, is a compact, clump-forming succulent with attractive rosettes of dark green, fleshy leaves. The leaves feature small white spots and soft white bristles along the edges, giving the plant its distinctive lace-like appearance. It typically grows about 8–12 inches tall and can spread to around 1–2 feet as it produces offsets. In summer, tall flower stalks may emerge above the foliage, bearing tubular coral-orange to orange-red flowers. It prefers full sun to partial shade, well-draining soil, and is drought tolerant once established.

Pet friendly: No. Aloe aristata can be harmful to pets if ingested, so it is best kept out of reach of dogs, cats, and other animals.

Hardiness zones: USDA Zones 7–10. In colder areas, protection from frost and excess winter moisture is recommended.
