Overview

The Fence Aloe (Aloe tenuior) is a slender, branching species reaching heights up to 3 feet. Its arching stems produce tubular, yellow to orange flowers, attracting hummingbirds. Ideal for zones 9-11, it thrives in full sun to part shade, requiring well-drained soil. This drought-tolerant aloe makes an excellent accent in xeriscapes or as a textured border and requires minimal maintenance. Space plants approximately 24 inches apart for an effective barrier.
