Sunbird superior hybrid aloes offer home gardeners and landscapers new and unique high performance, sustainable and water wise gardening options. These plants have spectacular flowers in a range of colours, dramatic foliage and architectural shapes that will complement any garden or landscaping design. This unique collection of premium water-wise aloe hybrid cultivars ranges from small and dainty flowering pot sized plants to those that will grow into massive, stemmed specimens – all adorned with a stunning flower display irresistible to birds and insects alike.



Size: Small

Colour:  Yellow

Flower time: Late Summer to Winter

Stem: Bush

Frost tolerance: Low



This hybrid produces a long-lasting supply of beautiful yellow flowers frm March onwards. The plant itself is a striking green with well-structured rosettes. It will also bush (produce multiple rosettes). A mature plant is capable of flowering for 6 months without a break in flower production. This characteristic places it in the “Superior Hybrid” category, and makes it a sought after landscaping subject, for group or border plantings. ‘Bush Baby Yellow’ does equally well as a container subject or when planted in an open garden.

Price: R68.25 ex VAT & ex delivery for a 20cm pot.

Please allow 1 week lead time for larger orders.



This gentleman would like to introduce to the astounding 'Aloe rex'. Read on!

 
- It is a cross between Aloe dichotoma (kokerboom) and Aloe barbarae, but much better performing in the Western & Southern Cape, much more rain tolerant

- It can reach a height of more that 6 meters. It is relative fast growing and starts to branch at about 1, 5 meters. It usually starts flowering when the first branching takes place. 

- In the drier areas the leaves tend to have a bluish tint which gives it a more attractive appearance.

- Two sizes are available from us: Stunning 20kg bags about 1.2 m high @ R190,- excl. VAT and delivery and 6kg bags about 50cm high @ R95,- excl. VAT and delivery.

- Depending on order volumes there may be a 1 week lead time to deliver stock, but it will be well worth the little wait. Just look at the final effect:
