(Aloe ‘Blue Elf’)
From late winter into spring, blue elf aloe’s toothed, grayish-green foliage welcomes orange flower spikes, giving hummingbirds and gardeners something to be grateful for.
Like many succulents, Blue Elf aloe thrives in hot, reflected sun in well-drained soil. What’s unusual is that it also handles shade, through it will flower more profusely in sunnier spots.
