Aloe "Blue Elf" - 1ga

Aloe 'Blue Elf' is a vigorous, tight-clumping aloe, reaching 18 inches tall by 2 feet wide, with narrow upright gray-blue leaves and spikes of orange flowers mostly appearing from early winter to early spring. This stem-less, dwarf aloe forms dense rosettes with toothed margins, growing tightly together in an upright habit. Moderate stress from sun and drought brings on a rosy flush, while extreme temperatures may result in reddish-tinged foliage tips. Flowering in late winter through early spring, 'Blue Elf' attracts hummingbirds with its showy spikes of orangey-red blooms. A cross of A. glauca x A. humilis, it thrives in full sun to light shade, preferring occasional irrigation and porous, well-drained soil. Hardy from 20 to 25 degrees Fahrenheit, it's ideal for mass plantings, rock gardens, waterwise borders, or containers, attracting hummingbirds and bees with its tubular orange flowers.
