Aloe Southern Cross is a striking and compact succulent that forms a rosette of vibrant, fleshy leaves in shades of green and red. The plant’s leaves are thick and fleshy with a slight blue-green tinge, which deepens to red and orange hues when exposed to the sun. In late winter to early spring, Aloe Southern Cross produces tall spikes of tubular, bright orange flowers that create a beautiful contrast with its foliage. This Aloe is known for its unique star-like leaf formation, which gives it the appearance of a miniature flowering tree.
Perfect for water-wise gardens, rockeries, or containers, this hardy and drought-tolerant succulent thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Its attractive form and seasonal blooms make it an ideal addition to any garden, particularly for those seeking low-maintenance plants.
