Aloe succotrina is naturally found on the Cape Peninsula, and as far as Mossel Bay to the east.

This aloe is common in Peninsula Sandstone Fynbos vegetation, and typically grows high up on cliff faces and rocky outcrops where seasonal fires do not reach it.

[1] Aloe succotrina can easily be grown as an ornamental plant in Mediterranean climate gardens, rockeries, and in containers.

Western Cape gardens use it in Fynbos native plant themed natural landscaping.

Space should be provided for maturity, as it eventually grows into a large and dense cluster.
