Aloe Nobilis

Aloe nobilis, commonly known as Golden Tooth Aloe or Golden Aloe, is a species of aloe native to South Africa, specifically the Eastern Cape region.  The leaves are thick and fleshy, with prominent spines along the margins. Mature plants can reach a height of about 1 to 2 feet and a width of 1 to 2 feet.  Aloe nobilis produces offsets or "pups" around the base to form an attractive cluster.  Aloe nobilis will need to be covered when temperatures go below 28 degrees.  

1. Landscape Design Suggestions:

   • Xeriscape Gardens: Aloe nobilis is well-suited for xeriscaping, which involves landscaping with drought-tolerant plants to conserve water. Its striking rosette form and vibrant golden-yellow flowers make it a beautiful addition to dry gardens.
   • Rock Gardens: Given its native habitat on rocky slopes, Aloe nobilis complements rock gardens beautifully. Plant it among rocks and gravel to mimic its natural environment, providing excellent drainage for the plant.
   • Container Gardens: In colder climates, grow Aloe nobilis in containers that can be brought indoors during the winter months. This allows you to enjoy its beauty year-round while protecting it from frost.  Aloe nobilis also makes an easy care house plant.
   • Accent Plant: Use Aloe nobilis as a focal point or accent plant in succulent gardens or desert-themed landscapes. Its bright flowers and distinctive form add interest and texture to garden beds or container arrangements.
   • Mass Plantings: Plant multiple Aloe nobilis specimens in groups or clusters for a dramatic effect. The repetition of its bold form and color creates visual impact and cohesion in the landscape.

When incorporating Aloe nobilis into your landscape or container garden, remember to provide well-draining soil, ample sunlight, and minimal water, as it is adapted to arid conditions. Additionally, be cautious of overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. With proper care, Aloe nobilis can thrive and enhance the beauty of your outdoor or indoor space.  Our Aloe nobilis plants are in 5gal containers and are averaging 8" tall and wide.  All of our plants are shipped bare root.
