Aloe Arborescens "Yellow Krantz Aloe" 5Liter

Botanical Name: Aloe arborescens (Yellow Form)
Common Names: Yellow Krantz Aloe, Yellow Candelabra Aloe

📌 Product Description

Aloe arborescens (Yellow Form) is a hardy, fast-growing succulent shrub valued for its upright branching habit and striking yellow flower spikes. Unlike the more common red form, this variety produces bright yellow tubular flowers that appear in dense clusters above the foliage.

The plant forms multiple stems with rosettes of grey-green, serrated leaves, creating a bold, architectural structure. It is widely used in South African gardens for its drought tolerance, winter flowering, and ability to form dense hedges.

Highly adaptable and low maintenance, this Aloe is ideal for water-wise landscaping and adds vibrant seasonal colour.
