Aloe Ferox

🌿 Aloe ferox (Cape Aloe) – Add Height, Color, and Resilience to Your Garden!

Aloe ferox, also known as Cape Aloe or Bitter Aloe, is a stunning succulent native to South Africa’s Cape region, particularly Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. Known for its tall, architectural form and vibrant blooms, this hardy plant is an ideal choice for gardeners looking to add color and interest with minimal upkeep.

🌟 Why You’ll Love Aloe ferox

🌵 Height & Structure: In its natural habitat, Aloe ferox can reach heights of 10 feet, forming a tall trunk with a six foot spread. In a pot, it grows more compactly, typically 2 to 4 feet tall—perfect for container gardening or small spaces.

❄️ Temperature Tolerant: Cape Aloe is hardy in USDA Zones 9-11, enduring winter temperatures down to 25°F. Though frost-tolerant, it’s best to provide protection during prolonged freezing spells by moving it indoors or covering it.

🌸 Stunning Seasonal Blooms: From Fall through Winter in the U.S., Cape Aloe produces vibrant orange or red flowers on 3-foot stalks. These blooms are not only eye-catching but also attract birds and pollinators to your garden!

🌞 Versatile Ornamental Uses

🌿 Xeriscaping & Rock Gardens: Aloe ferox thrives in dry, low-water landscapes, making it a popular choice for xeriscapes and rock gardens.

Container-Friendly: Growing in containers helps maintain a more compact size, adding architectural beauty to patios, decks, and entryways.

🌱 Pollinator-Friendly: The tall, colorful blooms attract hummingbirds, bees, and other beneficial pollinators, bringing life to your outdoor space.

🚚 Guaranteed Safe Delivery

Each Aloe ferox plant is carefully selected, wrapped and packaged to arrive in pristine condition, ready for easy stress-free planting. All orders include planting, watering, and care instructions for an easy, successful start!

Aloe design and application suggestions:

Aloe design and application suggestions:

The Aloe family is vast. Some aloes are small and solitary. Some aloes are small and make colonies. Some aloes can grow tall on a trunk and look tree-like. Some aloes have red leaves when stressed. The “blue elf” aloe has bluish leaves. Aloes bloom from November through March here in North America. The flower stalks vary in color from orange, red and yellow.

There is an aloe for any design idea you may have. The aloe family makes a very interesting low maintenance container plant that tolerates a wide range of lighting conditions. Aloes will be happy on a window sill or in a sunroom, bright room or patio setting. In the landscape, Aloes can deal with part shade or full sun. We recommend covering aloes in areas where the night time temperatures get below freezing although we offer some aloes that are reliably hardy to the mid twenties at night. It is always better to cover frost sensitive plants.

Can't wait to see the flowers bloom

My friend suggested this plant because of the lovely flowers that bloom once it is older. How low maintenance this plant is, is definitely a bonus.
