Known as the climbing aloe as it tends to scramble upward, often spiralling as it climbs. Offsets prolifically to form dense mats. Bright orange tubular flowers on tall spikes appear in late winter and early spring. Flowers are interesting as they are bright yellow inside, but orange outside. Hummingbirds frequently visit aloes and many other succulents to drink nectar. Excellent in rock gardens or as landscape plants. Porous soil with excellent drainage. Bright light to morning sun. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Protect from frost.
