I have grown these from seed - they are easy growing with no unusual cultivation needs. They are meant to be fairly cold tolerant, although I haven't tested this yet.
Young plants have nice spots, the leaves become plain (and probably less attractive) as they get older. So in hindsight, there are probably more desirable Aloes, unless the novelty of fuzzy flowers is especially important.

That is the sole reason im asking about this plant anyway.
A lot of aloeid plants work out for me, ordinary looking or otherwise.
