Aloe "Lode's Yellow" - 5ga

Pickup only - no shipping Aloe 'Lode's Yellow' is a succulent originating from Jordan, Asia, prized for its clusters of rosettes with upright fleshy gray leaves and unbranched inflorescences rising 2 to 3 feet tall during spring to early summer, adorned with dark yellow flowers. Resembling Aloe vera but with darker blooms, this plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, requiring little to occasional irrigation due to its drought tolerance. It likely originated as a hybrid involving Aloe koenenii, recognized for its red to orange flowers. Named in honor of Joel Lode, 'Lode's Yellow' is believed to be a hybrid distinguished by its yellow flowers, differing from the typical red to orange hues of Aloe koenenii. With low water needs and frost tolerance down to 25-30°F, it is suitable for USDA zones 9-11 and serves as an ornamental addition to garden landscapes, particularly in rock gardens, xeriscapes, or container plantings, although caution should be exercised as the plant may be poisonous if ingested.
