Description

Aloe suprafoliata is a hardy, solitary, stemless Aloe with a slightly spiraled twist. It is easily confused with A. pretoriensis when not in flower as it has similar bluish-green, red tipped leaves. The young leaves are two-ranked (hence the common name) and only form rosettes when mature.

Unbranched flowering stalks bear pinkish red, cylindrical flowers from May to July.

This beautiful species needs to be planted in full sun, in well-drained soil, and also makes an excellent container plant.
