Trade Name: Erik the Red ™ ᴾᴮᴿ

Botanical Name: Aloe Hybrid ‘LEO2291B’ᴾᴮᴿ

Tree aloe that produces blood red flowers on tall stems in winter.

The red colouring seems to increase with intensity as the flower develops, making this a truly stunning plant in flower.

It displays prominent (but soft and not dangerous) spines on its long large leaves.

Perfect for small gardens because of its narrow form.


Plants are 140mm pots (140mm shown in red pot image)

Express Post plants are shipped bare rooted, Local Delivery plants have the option of delivery either bare rooted or in pots. Refer 'Shop & Ship' for details.

(See 'Pot or not' for a comparison of bare rooting vs potted)
