Aloe striata hyb. 'Ghost Aloe'
Ghost Aloe
Description
Chiseled, triangular leaves form ghostly colored rosettes up to 1.5 feet across, and never exceeding 8 feet 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 2 feet 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.

Water Saving Tip:
Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs.
If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
