The winter warmth of flowering hybrid aloes in your garden

Abstract

Winter 2006 marked a first in the South African horticultural industry, namely the mass release of a locally bred flowering aloe specially meant for manicured gardens. The well-named ‘Hedgehog’ was a small neat clumping aloe that ignited a huge amount of interest locally and overseas in these quintessentially ‘Proudly (South) African’ plants.
