Aloe hardyi is a species of aloe native to Mpumalanga Province of South Africa first described in 1987[2]
This is a cliff dwelling species, which means it hangs down from cliffs. Plants have leaves that when young, are stacked, and plants can clump. When mature, forms rosettes. When sun stressed, leaves may turn turn a peach on the areas exposed to sun, but will not be even due to its cliff dwelling nature. Leaves are serrated like most other aloe species.[3]
