Aloe 'Bright Ember' - A wild looking aloe that forms a cluster of tight rosettes with 6 to 8 inch long leaves that are bright green with raised yellow pointed dashes and teeth on both the upper and lower surfaces and along the leaf margins - these teeth are particularly showy when backlit and while they look wicked, are actually soft to the touch. The orange flowers rise just above the foliage in winter. Plant in full sun to light shade in a well-drained soil and give occasional to infrequent irrigation. Hardy to around 25° F. This is one of the new Kelly Griffin fancy foliage hybrids that is being sold by Xeric Growers Nursery. As with many of Kelly's hybrids, this plant involves the crossing of several species over a number of generations. Our plants and images from Xeric Growers Nursery.
