Aloe 'Dwarf White' - A very ornamental small aloe with 4 inch wide rosettes of narrow recurved gray leaves that have yellow edged margins bearinsmall but prominent recurved teeth. In mid fall through early winter appear the 1 foot tall unbranched spikes bearing cream flowers. Plant in full to part day sun in a well drained soil and irrigate occasionally to infrequently. Has proven hardy to 25F. This is a very attractive small aloe that we have only grown in a container but it should prove to be a nice addition in the foreground of the garden where a small fall-winter flowering plant is desired. This plant came to us in 2006 in the collection of Stockton plant collector Alice Waidhofer tagged Aloe "Japanese Hybrid" and indicating that she got it from Georgia plant collector and breeder Zack Presley.
This description is based on our research and observations made of this plant as it grows in our nursery, in the nursery garden and in other gardens that we have visited. We will also incorporate comments received from others and always appreciate getting feedback of any kind from those who have some additional information about this plant, in particular if this information is contrary to what we have written or if they have additional cultural tips that would aid others in growing Aloe 'Dwarf White'.
