Aloe 'Erik, Red & White' - These hybrid aloe seedlings come from Aloe hybridizer Brent Wigand of Wildomar California and combine the genes of the beautiful hybrid Aloe 'Erik the Red', itself a complex hybrid involving Aloe mawii, A. petricola, A. marlothii and A. arborescens, with the stunning Aloe ferox 'White'. Our plan is to grow these plants on to select a the best ones to continue on as individual clones. Plant in full sun and irrigate little to regularly - plants of both parent species are known to tolerate dry conditions but will likely look best and flower better with occasion irrigation. Hardiness is as yet unknown but both parents are cold hardy at least down to the mid to high 20s° F.
The information about Aloe 'Erik, Red & White' that is displayed on this web page is based on research conducted in our nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We will also include observations made about this plant as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens that we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We also incorporate comments that we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they share cultural information that aids others growing this plant.
Please note that after 46 years in business, San Marcos Growers will be discontinuing nursery operations by the end of 2025 and the property will be developed for affordable housing.
