Native to South Africa and the hot, dry mountains of Zimbabwe, Aloe aculeata or Red Hot Poker Aloe, is found in rocky areas and grasslands in its native habitat, and looks like a stunning sculpture when planted in any landscape. When in bloom, birds and butterflies are attracted to the beautiful reddish-orange tubular flowers! This aloe plant is easily identifiable by its subdued green to turquoise leaves and how each rosette arches upward like a bowl. We like to plant them in raised beds, in rock gardens, or grown in a decorative pot and placed on bright decks, balconies, or windowsills. These aloes are a perfect addition to any low-maintenance or succulent garden!
Aloe aculeata is easy to grow and prefers light shade to full sun exposure. This aloe turns to a lovely red or orange color and once established, they are drought-tolerant and require little watering. These aloes bloom in autumn and winter making it an excellent addition to any landscape!
