It forms attractive rosettes of thick, fleshy leaves that are pale to deep green with distinctive white spots and soft, reddish teeth along the margins. Under stress from sun or drought, the foliage may take on pink or reddish tones. In late winter to spring, tall, branched flower stalks rise above the foliage bearing clusters of tubular flowers in shades of coral, orange, or red, which are highly attractive to pollinators. Its sap contains saponins, giving it a soapy feel when crushed—hence the common name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"638\" data-start=\"629\"\u003eSize: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"654\" data-start=\"643\"\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12–18 inches (30–45 cm) tall. \u003cstrong data-end=\"740\" data-start=\"729\"\u003eSpread:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18–24 inches (45–60 cm) per rosette; slowly forms wider clumps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"903\" data-start=\"821\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"831\" data-start=\"821\"\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to bright partial shade; best color develops in strong light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"989\" data-start=\"906\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"915\" data-start=\"906\"\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained sandy or gritty soil; ideal for rock gardens or containers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1057\" data-start=\"992\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1002\" data-start=\"992\"\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low water needs; allow soil to dry between waterings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1122\" data-start=\"1060\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1074\" data-start=\"1060\"\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e USDA Zones 8–11; protect from prolonged frost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1204\" data-start=\"1125\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1141\" data-start=\"1125\"\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Remove spent flower stalks; divide offsets to control spread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1301\" data-start=\"1207\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1222\" data-start=\"1207\"\u003eFertilizer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimal feeding; light application of balanced fertilizer in spring if desired\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sherwood Greenhouse and Gardencentre Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42112384368695,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/3306\/8855\/files\/E8985201-1992-44A6-90F5-B643C243208C.jpg?v=1771879476","url":"https:\/\/sherwood-greenhouse-and-gardencentre-ltd.myshopify.com\/products\/aloe-vera-soap-in-terracotta-w-saucer-6","provider":"Sherwood Greenhouse and Garden Centre Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
