Overview

Aloe cameronii, or Starfish Aloe, is a striking succulent featuring dense rosettes up to 18 inches in diameter. Its lanceolate leaves, reaching 12 inches long, showcase a unique red to deep copper hue when stressed. Preferring full sun to partial shade, this drought-tolerant plant thrives in well-drained soil with minimal watering. It makes a bold accent in xeriscapes, rock gardens, and container displays, blooming with orange-red flowers in cooler months.
