Aloe x nobilis 'Variegata' (Variegated Golden Toothed Aloe) - An evergreen rosette-forming succulent that suckers profusely, creating a large grouping to 18 inches tall of fleshy green leaves striped with yellow that have a tint of rose color on the tips and yellow to white, sharp but flexible teeth running along the edges with a few in spots on the inside of the leaves. The bright orange branched inflorescences rise well above the foliage to about 2 feet tall in mid-summer.
Plant in sun or light shade in sandy soil. Drought tolerant. Hardy to about 20 degrees F.
This plant has an unstable variegation that sometimes produces all green, all yellow or all nearly white rosettes of leaves. The plant that this variegated form sported from is thought by some to be a hybrid between Aloe mitriformis and A. brevifolia, but others suggest it may be the result of a cross between Aloe distans and A. brevifolia or perhaps a cross between Aloe arborescens and A. mitriformis. For more information on this plant see our listing for the non-variegated form, Aloe x nobilis
This information about Aloe nobilis 'Variegata' 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.
