Description

This rare stemless aloe is noted for its stunning spiral shape.  It is native to the Lesotho mountain peaks, near South Africa, where it is now a protected species.

It clings to rocky crevices where it grows in the high grassy, mountainous slopes.

The sharp-edged thick leaves form a spiral, clockwise or anti-clockwise.  

It can take a few years to reach maturity but is a fascinating Aloe at all stages of its growth cycle.

After a few years, spikes of beautiful pink or red flowers may emerge, which when pollinated will produce hundreds of seeds.
