Aloe Mutabilis 'Tammy'

Aloe mutabilis ‘Tammy’ .Aloe ‘Tammy’ is a striking hybrid derived from Aloe mutabilis, known for its tall, elegant flower spikes and robust rosettes. In Cape Town, it produces spectacular bicolour blooms, red buds that open into orange‑yellow flowers, from mid‑winter into early spring (July–September). Its upright form and repeat flowering habit make it perfect for feature planting, rockeries, or water‑wise borders. For best effect, plant 1m apart to allow each rosette to spread and showcase its dramatic display. With its fiery colour and hardy nature, Aloe ‘Tammy’ is a garden showpiece that never disappoints.

Why You’ll Love It

• Produces tall, bicolour flower spikes in winter–spring.
• Compact rosettes with bold, architectural foliage.
• Attracts sunbirds and pollinators.
• Hardy, drought‑tolerant, and low‑maintenance.
• Indigenous hybrid bred for repeat flowering and colour impact.

Plant & Care

Plant in sandy, well‑draining soil and position in full sun for maximum flowering. Space plants 1m apart to give each rosette room to shine. Water sparingly, especially during Cape Town’s rainy winters, as aloes dislike soggy roots. Remove spent flower stalks to keep plants tidy and encourage new growth. Feed lightly with a balanced fertilizer in spring to support foliage and flowering.

Did You Know?

Aloe mutabilis is sometimes called the “Changeable Aloe” because of its bicolour flowers that shift from red to yellow as they open. The hybrid ‘Tammy’ enhances this trait, offering longer flowering and more vibrant colour.
