Aloe Ciliaris

Design with this plant

Overview

Aloe ciliaris, or Climbing Aloe, is a fast-growing, evergreen succulent capable of reaching heights up to 10 feet with support. Its green, lance-shaped leaves bear soft teeth, and it flourishes in USDA zones 9-11. During fall and winter, vibrant orange-red tubular flowers attract pollinators. Preferring full sun to partial shade, it requires well-draining soil and minimal watering. A striking choice for vertical accents in xeriscaped gardens.
