Aloe dorotheae 'Sunset Aloe'

Aloe dorotheae, also known as 'Sunset Aloe', is a striking succulent that produces rosettes of glossy yellowish-green leaves. When exposed to full sun, these leaves will transform into a vibrant orange-red hue. Growing up to 12 inches tall, this plant is known for its ability to freely produce offsets, forming large clumps of rosettes on sprawling stems. Its thick, fleshy, and recurved leaves have toothed margins and may feature white spots. The tubular flowers are typically orange-red or yellow with green tips and bloom on long, unbranched stalks up to 2 feet in length during the winter season. The specific epithet "dorotheae (dor-uh-THEE-ay)" is a tribute to Miss Dorothy Westhead (fl. 1908), a London native. Native to Tanzania, Aloe dorotheae is a must-have for any succulent enthusiast.
