Aloe petrophila  from South Africa

A small spotted aloe with bright pink flowers, which grows easy from seeds

Aloe petrophila is easy to grow and   with very pretty bright pink flowers it is a good plant for the water saving garden.

This succulent aloe is sensitive to severe frost, but as it is small it can be sheltered by larger plants in the garden.

In the wild this aloe grows in a very small area and is therefore rare and in danger if the habitat  should be desturbed.

It makes offshoots.
