Product Description

The Aloe ferox, or Bitter Aloe, is a large, single-stemmed succulent with dense rosettes of thick, spiny-edged leaves that range from blue-green to reddish in full sun. This imposing aloe, reaching up to 3 meters in height, produces a towering, branched flower spike in winter, covered in vivid orange-red tubular flowers that attract bees and birds. The broad, fleshy leaves store water, ensuring its remarkable drought tolerance. Highly ornamental and medicinal, it is prized for its resilience and dramatic silhouette in xeriscapes.
