• Aloe cv. Pink Blush

Description: Pink Blush is one of the larger of Kelly’s miniature Aloe hybrids, although still relatively small it can grow 30 cm tall by 15-25 cm wide. It clumps profusely. It is quite similar to John Bleck's hybrid "Lizard Lips". Lizard Lips has thinner leaves with white patterns, without the neon highlights. Its unusual multicoloured foliage makes it a truly unique container plant that looks like an impressionist painting.
Rosettes: Upright to 15cm across.
Leaves: Brittle, quite fragile, textured, dark green and light green with raised pink/white bumps on the surface that varies in intensity from season to season. Bright pink teeth line the edges of the leaf.
Flowers: The flower stalk is a short inflorescence to with orange and yellow tubular.
Blooming season: This plant blooms in late winter to spring.
Remarks: Hybrid by Kelly Griffen of Rancho Tissue Technologies.

Cultivation and Propagation: Plant it in well draining soil and let the aloe dry out in between watering.
Grow this plant in partial shade to full sun and protect it in the winter as it is not cold hardy.
Propagation: By division of larger clumps, as the plant offsets prolifically, steadily spreading out from the central mother plant.
Use: Grown for foliage in containers, as it only get 30 cm tall with an equal spread, so it is great for small spaces that need some punch. This Aloe is also wonderful in the rock garden or used as a groundcover amongst Agaves or other succulent plants.
