Aloe polyphylla (Spiral Aloe)
Aloe polyphylla (Spiral Aloe)
The Spiral Aloe is incredible due to the unique leaf formation which corkscrews out from the centre of the plant.
Their natural home is the Maluti Mountains of Lesotho in Southern Africa. These Aloes can withstand freezing temperatures (-15°C once mature), often be under snow in their natural habitat. Protect from frost until over 15" in diameter.
They make a fantastic garden showpiece that can be grown at an angle on a rock wall or planter. This will allow any excess water to run away from the crown, as stagnant water in the crown can stimulate rot.
They appreciate regular feeding throughout the growing season (April to September), preferably once a fortnight with a liquid fertiliser.
An extremely fast-growing Aloe, the perfect UK hardy succulent.
Plant in a south-facing aspect and enjoy this beautiful work of nature.
