Aloe Cultivar "Sunset"

"Sunset Aloe", Up Close

Family: Aloaceae

Winter Hardiness: 25-40 degrees Fahrenheit

One of my favorites, this is the "Sunset" Aloe. I purchased mine on eBay. I was nervous about buying a plant on eBay, especially since this variety isn't the cheapest, but I fell in love with it and had to have it. Within a few days I had my very own, and I found that it was shipped with great care. I absolutely love it!

This beautiful aloe is a blue/teal color and has bright red dots grows along the edges of the leaves. This is definitely one that stands out in my garden, and always gets compliments.

Aloe Brevifolia, the "Crocodile Aloe"

Aloe Brevifolia

Family: Aloeaceae

Origin: South Africa

Winter Hardiness: 25-30 degrees Fahrenheit

Bloom Time: Fall/Winter

Aloe Brevifolia is also known as the "Crocodile Aloe", and it's easy to see why! Tiny spikes grow along the edges of the leaves, and down the center of each leaf.



Like most Aloe plants, this one will propagate by "pupping". Pupping is when new baby plants, or "pups", begin to grow around the base of the mother plant. The baby pups should be left to grow with the mother until they are large enough to break off from the mother with their own roots.
