Aloe 'Br<strong>as</strong>s Hat'<br />
A most wonderful Hummel hybrid with dark bronzy leaves and rosettes forming clumps <strong>of</strong> 6” to 1 ft adorned<br />

((A. descoingsii x A. calcairophylla) x A. bakeri) -- seems algebraic and daunting. The plants are not. Al<strong>as</strong>,<br />
frost hardy only to about 25F, mid <strong>USDA</strong> <strong>zone</strong> 9, so take precautions. Great container plant. Keep dry in<br />
winter.<br />
