Aloe ‘Christmas Carol’ is a small, slow-growing succulent, up to 1 foot (30 cm) tall and wide with 6 inches (15 cm) long deep green lance-shaped leaves that have vibrant dark raised red markings, some soft but spine-like, down the center and along the leaf margin. The flowers, are reddish pink. This Kelly Griffin hybrid possibly includes the legendary and beautiful Aloe ‘Doran Black’ as a parent or at the least shares some of its appearance.
