This unusual succuent forms densley packed clumps with spikey fleshy leaves that are dark green in colour turning to dark bronze as the plant matures. Ideal for the low maintenance garden, aloes are drought resistant and tolerate poor, low fertile soils. ‘Black Gem’ makes a lovely feature in a rockery, or can be used as a specimen plant for container growing on the patio or in a conservatory. Height to 10 cm.
