Aloe glauca (AG1)

Aloe glauca is a smaller species of aloe with blue-gray leaves that blush pink in full sun or times of stress. The leaves are 8-12" long tapering to a point. The fleshy leaves have small teeth on their margins. They grow in rosettes with offsets close to the mother plant thus creating a mound. The Blue Aloe flowers year-round (heaviest bloom in winter) with bright, red-orange blossoms. The term “glauca” refers to the milky blue-green color of the leaves. On close examination, it can be seen that these are also striped with many narrow lengthwise lines like its close relative Aloe lineata. The flowers of the two species, usually red to salmon-orange in color, are nearly identical. In both, the flower spike is never branched. It is a protected species in its native habitat. Very drought tolerant, plant in full sun to light shade in warmer climates, USDA Zones 9b-10b. Cold tolerance 25-30 C. Does well in rock, succulent and cactus gardens. Silvery-blue foliage provides a lovely contrast to darker-colored leaves. This plant's flowers are attractive to bees, butterflies, and birds. A. glauca grows well in containers. But it requires good drainage wherever it is planted.
