Description
Trade name: Rias™
Botanical name: Aloe Hybrid 'LEO 2267'
Description: Showy bi-colour brick red-to-orange upright tubular flowers tower over the rosette of this large, robust and striking plant from early winter. Rias flowers from a young age but will only take about 4 years from its first flower to reach its spectacular maximum flower production when it is likely to have grown a short trunk. This is one of the top hybrids and is suitable as a feature plant for the garden
