Plant in full sun in a well-drained. Our plants have not been through an extremely cold year, so we only know that this plant is hardy to around 30° F but based on its parentage it should prove a bit cold hardier than this.

This unusual plant is an open pollinated hybrid that was selected at our nursery from plants grown from seed taken from a Aloe sabaea that was growing at Aloes in Wonderland, the Santa Barbara garden of cycad specialist Jeff Chemnick. It had many other aloes growing around it so we can only speculate what the pollen parent could be. Several other seedlings were also selected for evaluation but this one with abundant flowers is one of the showiest with large golden flowers in huge branching panicles that rise above the attractive foliage. We also selected on we call Aloe 'Yemeni Orange' that also has large sprays of flowers but they are large light orange in color. The parent species, Aloe sabaea, is a small tree aloe with orange flowers that grows in Yemen and it was for this reason we decided to call these plants 'Yemeni Gold' and 'Yemeni Orange'. 

The information about Aloe 'Yemeni Gold' 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.
