Aloe striata

succulent

Aloe Striata, known as Coral Aloe, is a compact, stemless succulent with striking grey-green leaves bearing prominent red or coral-colored edges and longitudinal stripes. It produces delicate coral-pink tubular flowers and rarely exceeds 12 inches in height, making it ideal for small spaces and container growing. This species is more cold-tolerant than many aloe varieties.
