Green, green, green. Did we mention the recurved, slender green leaves, which – by the way – sport white speckles? Flowers are borne on tall spikes and are very bright tangerine, brilliantly popping against the green foliage backdrop. Seems to be in flower most of the year, which we have zero problems with. That’s when you understand why this freely offsetting aloe is called Firebird. Ideal for windowsill and dish gardens, or in garden beds in temperate climates.
