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. 

This information about Aloe 'Splashy Lassie' displayed is based on research conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
