Aloe 'Grassy Lassie' - This small clump-forming aloe grows to about 1 foot tall with deep-green, narrow, grass-like leaves that turn a bronze color in full sun and and have fine whitish teeth along the margins. Through much of the year the bright orange flowers rise above the foliage to about 2 feet tall. Plant in full sun to light shade in a well-drained soil. Irrigate occasionally to regularly. We began growing this new Kelly Griffin hybrid in 2007 and it has sustained temperatures down to 28°F without damage and likely could go a bit lower - some list it to 20 °F but we can't verify this. This plant has proven itself to be a very showy grassy-foliaged aloe for mass planting or container gardening in California gardens. We also have selected a variegated form that we call Aloe 'Splashy Lassie'
This information about Aloe 'Grassy Lassie' 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.
