Aloe 'Splashy Lassie' - This small clump-forming aloe grows to about 1 foot tall with narrow, grass-like leaves that are deep-green with cream longitudinal stripes and have fine whitish teeth along the margins. In full sun the green portions take on a bronze color with the white portions reddening up. The bright orange flowers rise above the foliage to about 2 feet tall on and off throughout the year. Plant in full sun to light shade in a well-drained soil. Irrigate occasionally to regularly. The parent plant of this selection has sustained temperatures down to 28°F without damage and likely could go a bit lower - some list it to 20 °F but we can't verify this. We selected this plant in 2010 from a Kelly Griffin hybrid called Aloe 'Grassy Lassie' and thought the name 'Splashy Lassie' quite fitting. We hope to introduce this plant sometime in 2013.
The information about Aloe 'Splashy Lassie' that is displayed on this web page is based on research conducted in our nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We will also include observations made about this plant as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens that we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We also incorporate comments that we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they share cultural information that aids others growing this plant.
Please note that after 46 years in business, San Marcos Growers will be discontinuing nursery operations by the end of 2025 and the property will be developed for affordable housing.
