Aloe pluridens

Aloe pluridens Details

Aloe pluridens, commonly known as French Aloe, is grown for its interesting foliage and impressive flower stems. It bears succulent and fleshy, green leaves with small teeth that are held in a downward manner. Stems emerge during winter to bear tubular, red flowers. It typically grows to 2 m tall and 1.5 m wide, growing best on a well-drained soil in full sun. It tolerates moderate frost once established, coastal environments, and extended dry periods. Aloe pluridens is commonly used as an architectural feature, included in coastal and Mediterranean themed gardens, or planted in the drier areas of the garden.
