Aloe Polyphilla

A really stunning Aloe Polyphilla, a particularly compact and geometric type of Aloe.
An African slow grower, it unfurls its leaves in a perfect spiral, making it a very sculptural plant for a design garden.




If you fancy succulents you can check also this beautiful blog dedicated to Aloes:
