Crocodile Plant

Aloe brevifolia, commonly known as the Crocodile plant or Short-Leaved Aloe, is a succulent that produces a rosette of warty, blue-green leaves that are thick, pointed, and carry soft, white teeth. The foliage is complemented with yellow flowers in winter as it grows to 20 cm and 40 cm wide. Aloe brevifolia is commonly mass planted either as a ground cover or in borders, and makes an excellent pot plant indoors or out. It is also often used in rock and Mediterranean themed gardens.
