Aloe 'Grassy Lassie' - This small clump-forming aloe grows to about 1 foot tall with deep-green, narrow, grass-like leaves that turn a bronze color in full sun and has fine whitish teeth along the margins. Through much of the year the bright orange flowers rise above the foliage to about 2 feet tall.
Plant in full sun to light shade in a well-drained soil. Irrigate occasionally to regularly. We began growing this new Kelly Griffin hybrid in 2007 and it 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.
Aloe 'Grassy Lassie' has proven itself to be a very showy grassy-foliaged aloe for mass planting or container gardening in California gardens. We also have selected a variegated form that we call Aloe 'Splashy Lassie'.
