Tiger Aloe
Aloe Zebrina
Overview
Aloe zebrina, commonly called Tiger Aloe, is a striking succulent with rosettes of fleshy, striped leaves that attain a diameter up to 6 inches. It's valued for its drought tolerance and distinctive zebra-like leaf patterning. Preferring well-draining soils, this native of southern Africa thrives in USDA zones 9-11, reaching a modest height of 4-8 inches. Perfect for xeriscaping, it requires minimal watering and full sun to partial shade exposure.
