Medicinal Aloe is an evergreen perennial well known for its medicinal uses. Leaves of mature plants are wide at the base and taper to nearly a point with tiny serrated teeth along the margins. Grey-green in color the leave surface has a waxy, powdery-like coat. During cold weather, drought, or in intense full sun sights, the grey-green color typically gives way to a dull brown or straight grey. Not to worry though, as conditions improve, plants will recover without effort. In spring to early summer, Medicinal Aloes bloom with a tall, narrow candelabra-type flower stalk covered with yellow tubular blooms that open from the bottom up. Hummingbirds and other pollinators find them irresistible. Plant in well-drained sandy soil in full or partial sun.
