Aloe rudikoppe “Little gem aloe”

Aloe rudikoppe, commonly known as ‘Little Gem’ Aloe, is perhaps the single most important introduction to “landscaping with succulents” in this decade! With red-orange flowers like a compact Kniphofia, and beautiful, low-growing, lush green triangular leaves, it thrives in full sun or complete north exposure shade. It tolerates water conditions from substantial regular garden watering to very dry conditions.

Unlike most Aloe species that just bloom for a very short time, usually between late winter and early spring, ’Little Gem’ blooms ALL YEAR ROUND on the California coastal plain. Arizona and low desert locations will see this species stop blooming during the hottest summer months.

Letter from the Author

From the time I was a little girl, helping my mom plant sweet peas, to being in the nursery business for almost twenty years…I’ve loved gardening. Some of my best days were spent whiling away my time in the garden, visiting nurseries, browsing through endless garden books and magazines, and garden design ideas at Waterwise Botanicals plant nursery.

Working in this industry has taught me well, but what I love most is the creativity that goes along with it. Designing a beautiful landscape, or meeting such wonderful people who share their enthusiasm & ideas for gardening. I never tire of discovering new plants, or changing up the mood of my garden.
 
​I have a passion for photography and writing, so you will usually find me with my camera trying to capture a shot of a beautiful plant or design. My articles are written to inspire, encourage, and share some pearls of wisdom I’ve gathered through the years, as well as highlight other authors, plants and concepts that are trending in design. So, let’s take a journey together “IN THE GARDEN”.
