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 in 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 had the largest and darkest flowers. The first seedling that we selected we named Yemini Gold' and it has slightly smaller leaves that are less twisted with large panicles of golden yellow flowers. 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 name these plants as we did. We also selected another plant that we only have planted in the garden that appears to be a cross involving Aloe harlana with spotted leaves and large red flowers that we call 'Yemini Red', but this 'Yemeni Orange' has the largest flowers of the group. 

The information displayed on this page about Aloe 'Yemeni Orange' is based on our research conducted about this plant from books in our nursery library as well as from information that is provided by reliable online resources. We also have included our own observations made about it as it grew in the nursery gardens and other gardens visited, as well how the crops of this plant performed in the containers when we had them in our nursery field. We also include comments received from others and welcome hearing from anyone who has information about this plant, particularly if it includes cultural information aiding others to better grow it.
