Aloe dorotheae ‘Crimson’

Family: Asphodelaceae
Common Name: Crimson Aloe
Origin: Cultivar of Aloe dorotheae (Sunset Aloe), propagated by tissue culture at Rancho Tissue Technologies

Description:

‘Crimson’ is a dazzling cultivar of the Tanzanian species *Aloe dorotheae*, selected for its bold, fiery red foliage. Rosettes begin bright green with white spotting and transition to deep crimson tones in full sun or drought stress—creating a living display of color. Margins are lined with pronounced, golden teeth that frame the glossy leaves.

In winter, mature plants produce slender stems topped with tubular orange to greenish-yellow flowers that rise above the rosette, adding seasonal interest and drawing pollinators.
