"Fan Form" Aloe peglerae Aloe peglerae (Fan Form) - Fez Aloe [large] [bare root]

RE the mis-representation/mis-use of the term "fan form" Aloe peglerae https://mountaincrestgardens.com/aloe...
Almost all Aloe seedlings are distichous and gradually evolve into the rosette form, with some notable exceptions such as Aloe plicatilis (now Kumara plicatilis), A. inexpecta and a few others. Even Aloe suprafoliata (aka "book Aloe"), and so-called "strap form" Aloe lineata, eventually will spiral and become a rosette. Kind regards, Denise

You are certainly correct about Aloe peglerae spiraling, but this particular form was selected to resist this for a longer period of time. Normal A. peglerae would have spiraled much earlier. We do not guarantee that this form will hold forever (hence the informal "form"), but we do feel it's important that customers know that the plant they receive will currently be in a distichous form.
