| History | 'ANDora' is a unique cultivar, a small clustering aloe with light greyish-green colored foliage and vigorous upright-compact growth habit reaching one foot tall, slowly clustering wider from its base. Its inflorescence reaches up to 18 inches above the foliage, with bright reddish-pink colored flowers that are larger in comparison to other aloes and are sterile so produce no seed. This cultivar is the result of a controlled breeding program started by Andy de Wet in 1973, at his nursery in Linbro Park, Republic of South Africa. The purpose of this program was to develop hybrid Aloe plants with desirable characteristics such as improved vigor, flowering ability, and disease resistance. 'ANDora' was selected in July 2007 as a single plant from a group of seedlings derived from a cross between complex hybrids. Through lengthy trials, it has remained true to type and free of aloe mite and aloe black spot, which disfigures many aloes. First released in the U.S. in 2014, it received U.S. Plant Patent #28,002 May 20 |
