Plant in full sun in a well-drained soil with occasional to infrequent irrigation. Noted as hardy to a medium frost so likely cold tolerant to temperatures down to the mid to high 20s F. This is an outstanding plant that makes a great show when planted out in the garden or used in a large container.

This incredible red flowering aloe comes from the breeding program of Leo Thamm of Sunbird Aloes in Johannesburg, South Africa. This program was first introduced into the US in 2012 and also included the other very nice aloe cultivars Aloe 'Erik the Red', 'Fairy Pink', Moonglow ['LEO 3151A'] and 'Topaz' ['LEO 4120']. In South Africa and elsewhere this plant is marketed as Super Red, but this name is under trademark restrictions in the United States. We first trialed this plant in 2011 and it exceeded all of our expectations. It received protection overseas in the Plant Breeders Rights program in 2010.

The information about Aloe Scarlet Rockets ['LEO 3711'] displayed on this web page is based on our research conducted in the nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also include 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 we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share cultural information that would aid others in growing this plant.
