Aloe polyphylla, commonly known as Spiral Aloe or Drakensberg Aloe, is a striking succulent renowned for its perfect geometric rosette, with leaves spiraling symmetrically either clockwise or counterclockwise. This remarkable species is native to the high-altitude regions of Lesotho, where it forms dense, low-growing rosettes in rocky, well-drained soils.
Tissue-cultured Aloe polyphylla ensures true-to-type plants with vigorous growth, making it easier to enjoy this rare succulent without the challenges of slow seed propagation or inconsistent offsets. Ideal for collectors, alpine gardens, and striking container displays, the Spiral Aloe provides a dramatic architectural presence year-round.
