Description
Trade name: Spots n Dots™
Botanical name: Aloe Hybrid LEO 6132'
Description: A unique and sought after small to medium sized tough sun perennial for Australian gardens, not just for its flowering but for its special leaf form. The beautifully shaped greyish leaves contain numerous ‘spots and dots’, even more on the underside than the upper surface. Established plants are capable of putting on an amazing show of red-to-yellow bi-coloured flowers from early autumn and through winter.
