Plant in full sun and irrigate little to occasionally. Hardy to mid 20's° F - no damage was observed on our plants of this plant in our garden during the January 2007 cold spell with three nights down to at 25° F, but plants of species Aloe camperi were noted as damaged at temperatures in the low 20's by Brian Kemble at the Ruth Bancroft Garden in Walnut Grove. This is a very attractive landscape plant that is showy in full bloom.

Aloe camperi is from Eretria in northeastern Africa south to Ethiopia at elevations ranging from 4,600 feet to 8,300 feet. This unusual and attractive form of Aloe camperi, which usually has orange and yellow flowers, was grown from plants we received unnamed in the late 1980s that we planted in our nursery garden. After receiving many comments about the plant we finally decided to put in into production in 2011 and query all aloe friends about what they thought its identity was and confirmed the general suspicion that it was a yellow flowering form of Aloe camperi. The typical orange and yellow form of this species has long been in cultivation in California, at one time under the name Aloe eru. For more information about the species see our listing of Aloe camperi and also our listing of an unusual form called Aloe camperi 'Conuta' (ISI -2005-15). 

This information about Aloe camperi 'Yellow' displayed is based on research conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
