ISI 2026-10. Aloe 'Cris Santana' K. Zimmerman.
This is the latest Karen Zimmerman Aloe hybrid. It stands out from her other hybrids in an eye-catching way. The otherwise smooth, green leaves are crowded with raised, longitudinal ridges on both the top and bottom surfaces of the leaves, sometimes with the proportions of a typical hyphen, other times two or three times as long, and occasionally with an outstanding ridge about five times as long! They are colorful too, from pale green to yellow to red, the colors intensifying during winter. The rosettes can reach 10 inches across and offset slowly, but we have been able to multiply the selection more rapidly in tissue culture. It is lovingly named for Karen's girlfriend, Cris, who has been an incredibly positive and empowering presence in her life even from a great distance. We offer rooted offsets of HBG 146285.
