Aloe-Aloe Horticulture

The Aloe-Aloe range of 34 unique sun perennials represents a breakthrough in floral genetics, an innovation 39 years in the making. Bred in South Africa by Leo Thamm to provide dynamic, long living colour, they are easy to care for and are versatile, being both drought tolerant as well as heavy rain tolerant. By crossing various species of aloe the best features of all parents (sometimes up to 8 parents) are bred into a one-of-a-kind cultivar which adds life and colour, boasts exceptional flowering as well as heat tolerance to last through hot dry summers. Improved traits are flowering as younger plants (pure aloe species can take many years to reach flowering maturity), longer flowering (some for up to 9 months), a wider range of flower colours , more prolific flowering and better adaptability to a wide range of climatic zones. Whilst most of the flowering takes place in the autumn and winter months, varieties are able to be selected that flower at different times of the year, so flowering is able to be delivered for most of the year.
