A unique and striking multi-branched shrub or small tree from South Africa's southwestern Cape where it's known as the fan aloe - a reference to the unique layout of its strap-like leaves. As the bush matures, racemes of tubular scarlet flowers are a spectacular sight in late-winter and spring.
Feature:
Feature and accent plant with a unique and distinctive shape.
Uses:
Wonderful garden feature, accent and patio container plant.
Position:
Full sun and well-drained position. Prefers to be on the dry side in winter.
Care:
An easy-care plant; removal wayward stems and a very light dressing of acid fertilisers every year or two is all it needs.
