ECOSCAPE NURSERYPresents Aloe polyphylla: The Gem of the DrakensbergAloe polyphlla specimen tub, New for 2009
These specimens are nearly adult size, and may be kept in this container for many years. The new soil mix is very coarse and I am confident it is the best I've offered. One plant is only $200.00, and a pair of Left and Right hand spirals is $375.00. Pick up at the nursery by appointment or I can deliver for an additional fee by negotiation.

This beautiful and rare species evolved in the high elevations of the Drakensberg mountains of southern Africa. The unique spiral arrangement of its leaves make Aloe polyphylla very special. Many succulent plants have basal rosette morphology but none have achieved such a striking spiral of leaves. A mature plant will have five rows of leaves either clockwise or counterclockwise. I discovered this rare species during the three years I taught in Lesotho and collected seeds from the few plants that flowered. For fifteen years I cultivated plants grown from these seeds and waited for flowers. The species is not floriferous; rarely will any flower, and various efforts to induce floral buds have been unsuccessful. I have learned enough about seed germination and growth to offer Aloe polyphylla for sale. The plants tolerate snow and temperatures between 10 and 90 degrees F. Those shipped are two years old, 7" in diam. with 45 leaves, full sun acclimated, and ready to be potted or placed in the ground.
