Aloe variegata or the Tiger Aloe is perhaps the most distinctive of all Aloes featuring whitish spots on the leaves making a striking appearance.
This is classified as a dwarf Aloe with the spineless leaves around 150-200mm long and arranged in ranks of 6-8 leaves. They can sometimes develop into an unusual twisted form, apparently spiraling as they age.
Leaves can vary in base colour from green, through grey to chocolate with the white patterns on both sides.
It produces a tall, branched spike of pendulous orange to pink flowers around 40mm long from mid winter to early spring.
They suit rockeries best but also go very well in containers and will attract birds, bees and butterflies to your garden.
