This spreading aloe is one of the lower growing species and is therefore often used as a ground cover plant in rock gardens.
It produces branched spikes of orange-scarlet flowers which contrast well against the blue-green foliage.
They also go well in larger pots where they will spill over to make interesting shapes, though not good to have where there is foot traffic close-by as the foliage is quite spiky.
Its ideal growing temperature is around 25C but it can survive as low as 5C.
