Cape Aloe 🌿

(Aloe ferox / Bitter Aloe)

Tall • Cold-Tolerant • Winter Blooms

Add bold structure and seasonal color to your garden with Aloe ferox, one of the most striking and resilient aloes available. Native to South Africa’s Cape region, this architectural aloe is prized for its upright trunk, dramatic form, and vibrant winter flower spikes.

Whether grown in the landscape or in a container, Aloe ferox delivers serious visual impact with minimal care.

🌵 Key Features & Growth Habit

Impressive Height & Structure 🌱
In the ground, Aloe ferox can eventually reach up to 10 feet tall with a spread of about 6 feet, forming a bold trunked specimen.
When grown in containers, it stays more compact—typically 2–4 feet tall—making it ideal for patios and smaller spaces.

Spectacular Seasonal Blooms 🌸
From fall through winter in the U.S., mature plants produce 3-foot-tall flower stalks topped with brilliant orange to red blooms—a dramatic display when many gardens are dormant. These blooms are a favorite of hummingbirds and other pollinators.

Cold Tolerance ❄️
• Hardy in USDA zones 9–11
• Tolerates temperatures down to ~25°F
• Protect during prolonged freezes or move container plants to shelter
