Altman Plants Swordfish Aloe, Exotic & Rare Succulents Live Plants

Gazing upon this extraordinary hybrid aloe may be considered impolite in most cases, yet it is unavoidable. Aloe 'Swordfish' PP32,010 is the breeder's stunning twist on a terrific aloe from Madagascar, Aloe divaricata. In bright light, this aloe resembles a mighty sea-dwelling creature - even a sea serpent - awash in rich lavender, blue, purple, and burgundy. Its elegant, enchanting, open star-shaped form of long, arching leaves is embellished by touch-friendly burgundy red teeth. Aloe 'Swordfish' periodically sends up a branched flower stalk of tubular red blooms, enticing hungry hummingbirds. This may occur multiple times a year, particularly when the weather is suitably warm, and it receives adequate water.

Apart from its captivating color and form, Aloe 'Swordfish' stands out from many other hybrid aloes by virtue of its impressive size. Given ample room, it can grow up to 2 feet tall and wide, with a flower stalk on a larger specimen easily exceeding 12 inches. While it can happily dwell in a decorative patio container, such as the concrete pot your fully rooted plant will arrive with, Aloe 'Swordfish' also impresses in landscapes and garden beds where frost is not a concern. This aloe can also be showcased as a stunning houseplant, excelling best on a sunny windowsill or near the sunniest window, as bright light brings out its most striking color. Outdoors, provide it with full to partial sun, shielding it from the toasty afternoon sun for optimal appearance.

Aloe 'Swordfish' (PP32,010) is the epitome of elegance in the world of live houseplants, cacti, and succulents.
