Dune aloe is a statuesque, unbranched succulent reaching heights of up to 10 feet (3 meters). It brandishes pale olive-green leaves, shaped in a distinctive U-profile, complete with small reddish-brown teeth along their margins. These leaves tend to curve back toward the trunk, forming a unique skirt of dried foliage. The species is known to bloom in winter, displaying 15 to 25 yellow and orange flowers arranged in erect, well-branched inflorescences. Mature plants may exhibit multiple inflorescences, while juveniles typically bear just one.
