Aloe fosterii
Large Spotted Aloe
Description
Aloe fosterii is a hardy, stemless Aloe with leaves that have a grey, powdery surface and white, almost H-shaped markings on the upper surface. The blue-grey, branched flowering stalk bears brightly-coloured flowers, varying from yellow to orange and even scarlet. It blooms in March and April and when in bloom and planted en masse, it is a magnificent sight. Added to this are the many species of sunbirds and insects that are continuously visiting the flowers.

Water Saving Tip:
Dig-up patches of weeds and undesirable grasses from turf areas.
Use water to grow the turf you want, not the weeds you don't want! Once you have eliminated what you don't want, add sod or over-seed to repair the bare areas.
