NOTE: 20L size aloe can not be couriered, special delivery only.

This large, slow stemming aloe with its very deep red (even purplish) flowers that open from mid-winter to early spring brings a unique new colour to the late winter garden. The long, up-curving racemes with their large flowers are borne on multiple inflorescences. The showy flowers are enhanced by longish, slightly decurving, green leaves that add grace to the plant even when it is not in flower.

The leaves are u-shaped in cross section and lined with widely spaced, small reddish spines. The plant has not been seen to produce stem shoots, but division of the rosette is possible in mature specimens. Because of its size ‘Lava Flow’ will probably prefer an open planting area, although young plants readily flower in 20 litre bags, indicating that a large enough container would also give sufficient room for the plant to develop well.
