Aloe aculeata ‘Super Spiney’

Family: Asphodelaceae
Species: Aloe aculeata ‘Super Spiney’
Origin: South African species (*A. aculeata*), cultivar introduced by Rancho Tissue Technologies

Description:

Aloe aculeata ‘Super Spiney’ is a compact, highly textured selection of the classic *A. aculeata*, characterized by an exceptionally dense covering of spines—both along the leaf margins and across their surfaces. The rosette maintains a sculptural form, ideal for dramatic expression in rock gardens, containers, or specimen plantings.

Though a cultivar, it retains the species’ iconic downward-bending tubular flowers—typically in fiery hues of orange to yellow—produced on slender flower stalks that may branch with maturity.
