Description: Aloe castilloniae Aloe castilloniae - An unusual low sprawling aloe that grows as a dense cluster to 6 inches tall and spreads slowly over time to several feet wide. The leafy stems are tipped by 3-inch-wide rosettes of 1 inch long recurved and rough texture olive-green leaves that have prominent red teeth. Flowering and most growth is put on in fall and winter and then slowing when dormant in the heat of summer. The few orange flowers are held on a very short (about 2 inches tall) simple unbranched inflorescence. Plant in full to part sun in a very well-drained soil and irrigate occasionally to very little - does well with winter rainfall so long as soil drains well. It is not very hardy and is often listed as frost intolerant, but we have grown it outdoors in our nursery where it has been subjected to light frosts and temperatures down to 31° F. This unique aloe is a bit of a collector's item as a potted plant, but it can also be used in a featured small area in the rock or succulent garden. Its unusual foliage and clustering habit is the most attractive features and while the flowers are charming and attractive, they are hardly showy.The plants pictured is what will ship.I ship all plants bare root and use USPS Priority or Ground Advantage depending on the weight and destination.
