Plant in full sun in a well-drained soil and give little to occasional irrigation. Hardiness is as yet determined but has handled temperatures just below freezing and likely is still a bit hardier. This plant is a nice yellow flowering landscape aloe with attractive green foliage.

Aloe 'Sunshine' is a name we applied to a plant that we first received from a the micropropagation laboratory (tissue culture) of Magnolia Gardens labeled as the orange flowering aloe cultivar Aloe Safari Orange ['Andora'] that has very similar foliage and was only noted it to be different as it came into flower. Magnolia Gardens had received the stock plants as Aloe Safari Orange from EuroAmerican Propagators as that company went out of business and didn’t realize the mix-up until plants had been shipped so it began popping up in a number of nurseries as a yellow form of Aloe Safari Orange. It really is one of the brightest yellow flowering aloes we have and the flowers stand attractively against the green foliage. One issue we have found with it is that it gets occasional black leafspots similar to what we see in Aloe camperi cultivars, which leads us to believe it may have this plant in its parentage.
