Aloe claviflora

Aloe claviflora is found in arid areas of South Africa from Prince Albert northwards.

The plants are easy to identify as the plant body tends to lean forward and the flowers are horizontal, almost flat on the ground. Plants form clumps in  circular fashion and continually grow outwards leaving a hollow in the middle.

The plants do no adapt well if taken out of the wild and should be grown from seed.

Flowering time is in August and September.
