Notes
Tiger aloe (Gonialoe variegata) is a succulent for borders, containers, and xeriscape gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and dry, loamy soil. It stays evergreen and tolerates drought, so it needs little care. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Its low clumps reach about 12 inches tall.
Native range
Africa.
