Aloe 'Fairy Pink' A small stemless aloe with upright rosettes of 8 inch long pale green leaves that have a soft serrated leaf edge. In late summer through fall into winter (if mild) appear the sparingly-branched inflorescences of delicate white flowers and buds tipped in green that are lightly blushed pink at the base, especially on older flowers, that rise 8 to 12 inches above the leaves. Plant in a well-drained soil in full, filtered sun or part shade but flowering best with bright light. Water occasionally spring through fall. This aloe is not reported to be very cold hardy and should be protected from frost. A great little plant for a potted specimen or used in the landscape in a protected site with a well-drained soil – if happy can produce an impressive floral display. This aloe comes from the breeding program of Leo Thamm of Sunbird Aloes in Johannesburg, South Africa and was introduced to the US nursery trade in 2012 by The Plug Collection.
