Aloe striata hybrid- STOP THE FLOP!

Aloe striata hybrid commonly known as ‘Ghost Aloe’ has chiseled, triangular leaves form ghostly colored rosettes up to 1.5 feet across, and never exceeding 8” tall. The frosty, light colored leaves pick up an interesting amethyst tint when dry, or during cool winter temperatures.

Its winter/early spring blossoms will startle you with brilliant orange flowers suspended 2ft above the plant on tall candelabra stems.

Pups, or offshoots, form around the base of the mother plant, eventually producing nice clumps of up to 3 feet across.

Full sun to part shade, very salt tolerant at ocean-side locations, does well from regular garden watering to very water-wise.

Letter from the Author

From the time I was a little girl, helping my mom plant sweet peas, to being in the nursery business for almost twenty years…I’ve loved gardening. Some of my best days were spent whiling away my time in the garden, visiting nurseries, browsing through endless garden books and magazines, and garden design ideas at Waterwise Botanicals plant nursery.

Working in this industry has taught me well, but what I love most is the creativity that goes along with it. Designing a beautiful landscape, or meeting such wonderful people who share their enthusiasm & ideas for gardening. I never tire of discovering new plants, or changing up the mood of my garden.
 
​I have a passion for photography and writing, so you will usually find me with my camera trying to capture a shot of a beautiful plant or design. My articles are written to inspire, encourage, and share some pearls of wisdom I’ve gathered through the years, as well as highlight other authors, plants and concepts that are trending in design. So, let’s take a journey together “IN THE GARDEN”.
