Aloe conifera

Aloe conifera Details

Aloe conifera is a smaller Aloe that is grown for its interesting foliage and flowers. It grows as an open rosette of fleshy, blue-green leaves with a toothed margin. In winter, short stems carrying dense buds open into magnificent, small, yellow flowers. It typically grows to 40 cm tall and the same wide, preferring a well-drained soil in full sun. It is a hardy Aloe that will tolerate light frost and extended dry periods once established as well as coastal conditions. Aloe conifera is commonly added to mixed plantings, grown in a container, or planted in drier areas of the garden and is great for providing winter interest.
