Aloe sinkatana 'Brickhouse'
Brickhouse Aloe, Sudanese Red Aloe
Description
This aloe clumps to form clusters 3' wide of gray green leaves with white specks that are tinged in red. Margins are toothed with forward pointed sharp teeth. From winter through spring, red flowers emerge from the center, 2' tall. This succulent does well in full to part sun with well draining soil. It is drought tolerant once it's established. Do not overwater especially in winter as it is prone to root rot. Great plant by the pool.
