Another spotted (or speckled as some describe it) aloe, a suckering one, this one a bit tender to cold, though seems to do fine in Huntington Botanical gardens (zone 9b). some sites list it as a 10-12 zone plant. Has pale, bluish barely spotted leaves with dark marginal spines. Suckering stemless rosettes about 12" across. Flowers in winter red on single racemes.
