AloeAloe are spiky and fleshy leaved, grown mainly for the foliage effects, but they'll surprise you with their flowers which form on an excessively long stalk. Plant these in combination for a great patio container, or singly in terracotta pots so you can mix and match the textures and colours. These plants are not cold hardy, so need to be kept indoors in the winter. They require bright light for the winter months, in either a sunny window, or under fluorescent lights. Outside for the summer months, they'll love full sun on your patio or deck, but don't mind a bit of shade in the afternoon. Use well drained soil, and water thoroughly but infrequently, even less in winter. Don't let them sit in a saucer of water - ever! Price is $6.00 per 2" pot if purchased separately, or collection of 9 plants $50.00. Sorry, my choice only, may include plants from Echeveria and other succulent plants.
