Aloe fosterii
Large Spotted Aloe
Description
Aloe fosteri 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.
