Aloe striata

Horticultural Data | Shipping & Availability | Top

Aloe striata is a fast-growing aloe, developing from a small seedling to a mature 2-foot flowering plant in two years. Aloe striata remains solitary without any offsets, and tends to grow in the front and disintegrate in the back, thus moving across the ground after many years. Aloe striata is a longtime favorite for Mediterranean gardens and very popular in Southern California featuring attractive red-orange flowers and rosettes of fleshy blue-green leaves.

The leaves of the true species (there are several hybrids masquerading as Aloe striata) are smooth and untoothed, and are generally bluish-green with some blotchy stripes of darker hue running down the leaf’s center.  The unarmed leaves are edged with red or white. Aloe striata’s leaves can blush pink in cooler weather or when the plant is under stress

Blooming in late winter to early spring, the flowers of Aloe striata are held, all at the same level, on many branched stalks and can brighten the garden for up to three months from winter to spring.

Being quite adaptable to most conditions from shady/moist to full sun, hot and dry, this aloe is very useful in many garden situations.
