Aloe striata - Coral Aloe
$3.09
Coral Aloe is one of the prettiest succulents in my garden. The smooth blue leaves are edged with pink which seems to light up at sunset. About 2 feet in diameter, this is a tidy, compact handsome plant that looks good year round.
Aloe striata is native to South Africa, where it grows in ungodly heat and minimal rainfall. A drought-tolerant garden is luxurious by comparison. Plant this beauty in lean, sandy soil and full sun. Water it once a month or never. It will think it's gone to heaven.
In mid-winter, Aloes send up colorful blooms, vivid coral candelabras that last for weeks. Just when your garden looks tragic, Coral Aloe will put on a show that stops traffic. It looks great in a pot.
