- Striking succulent with fleshy, orange‑stippled pale‑green leaves edged in bright, orange‑red fringe for vivid contrast.
- Compact, clump‑forming rosettes ~8–10 in. tall and wide—perfect scale for desks, shelves, and small outdoor vignettes.
- Heat‑ and drought‑tolerant, frost‑tender evergreen that shines in rock gardens, xeriscapes, containers, or as a houseplant.
- Low‑maintenance: thrives in full to partial sun and fast‑draining cactus/succulent mixes; water only when soil is completely dry.
Retro Succulents Carmine Aloe (Aloe ‘Carmine’) delivers saturated, collector‑worthy foliage—pale green blades peppered with orange stippling and finished with bold, orange‑red fringed margins. Its slow‑growing, tidy rosettes stay compact while providing modern color and texture indoors or out. Give this evergreen aloe bright light and a gritty, fast‑draining mix, let it dry between waterings, and enjoy a waterwise accent that pops in containers, on sunny patios, and throughout low‑water landscapes.
Plant Description
Compact, clump‑forming aloe with slow‑growing rosettes and multicolored foliage. Primarily prized for foliage; blooms are infrequent and incidental.
Foliage & Color
Fleshy, pale‑green leaves with orange stippling and conspicuous orange‑red, toothy fringed margins; color intensity is strongest in bright light and lean soils.
Habit & Size
Forms neat rosettes that mature to roughly 8–10 in. tall and 8–10 in. wide; naturally clumping for a fuller display over time without becoming rangy.
Sun & Exposure
Full sun to partial sun outdoors; bright light indoors. Provide a few hours of direct sun or high‑intensity filtered light for best color and compact growth.
Water & Soil
Allow the mix to dry completely, then water thoroughly and drain. Use a gritty, fast‑draining cactus/succulent mix (or potting soil amended with sharp sand); avoid excess water in cooler months.
Hardiness
USDA Zones 9–11 (frost‑tender). Grow as a houseplant in all zones; move containers indoors before frost.
Special Features
Waterwise and easy‑care; evergreen foliage with dramatic color; deer and rabbit resistant; excellent heat and drought tolerance once established.
Landscape & Décor Uses
Rock gardens, xeriscapes, and border pockets; standout in modern containers or mixed succulent bowls; adaptable as a bright‑light houseplant.
Indoor & Container Tips
Choose containers with ample drainage. Use a cactus mix and avoid saucer‑standing water. Rotate occasionally for even light; reduce watering in winter.
Care & Maintenance
Water regularly during the first growing season to establish; after that, water sparingly. Protect from frost and prolonged cold; limit watering during cool periods.
Collection & Breeding
Part of the Retro Succulents series; ‘Carmine’ is a selected hybrid known for its rugged texture and saturated edge color.
