Aloe polyphylla

A gem of the succulent world and admired across the globe for its amazing spiral leaf arrangement and hardiness. From the Drakensberg mountains of SA, this forms a single, dense rosette up to 75cm across, with the leaves arranged in a perfect spiral. Branched candelabras of tubular orange flowers in summer. For very freely drained but never dry soil, especially in summer, in full sun and with protection for winter, such as a cloche or similar cover (unless you are mild and coastal etc). Magnificent and rarely available.
