Aloe Sinkatana

This is a fairly common aloe, hardy down to about 25 degrees F. It's extremely drought tolerant but does appreciate water in hot, dry summers.

It's a great addition to rock or succulent gardens. It has light green leaves tinged with a glowing red/orange color. There are 1 to 2ft flower spikes that are very long lasting. They can be used indoors as cut flowers. It blooms mostly during the winter.

Beautiful banner, Karen.

Superbly done all the way around. Love it! 🌵 🌵 🌵 🌵 🌵

That makes a pretty composition for a banner.

Gorgeous, we can only dream of flowering aloes in the UK!

I agree!

Beautiful blend of colors. Are the flowers attracting the hummingbirds Karen?

Interesting aloe (we don't have that one) that makes a great banner.

Such a beauty!!!

Nice one, Karen. It's especially good to know the details, makes for one I'll consider planting.

I have this as a houseplant during the winter, and it goes outside for Spring and Summer. When it bloomed it was inside, so I didn't get to see what was attracted to the flowers.
Thank you all for the Thumbs, Acorns, and kind comments!

for a great banner, Karen!

Thanks, Stan!

I'm not going to grow it, but I was just curious.

Oops! I just noticed what you said, so I didn't need to ask again.
