Aloe ferox

Cape Aloe

This solitary succulent grows a trunk over time, creating a presence in the garden as it rises above the rest. While this plant likes the heat, it will fare better without reflected or western sun. Place it where it will have room to grow make a statement.

  • Dull green leaves highlighted blue with reddish hue
  • Brownish red spines along margins
  • Yellow, orange blooms in late spring through late summer
  • Avoid afternoon sun
