A plant with humble origins in Arabia has now become the most grown succulent around the world. Aloe Vera Is famous for the medicinal gel it produces, which all too often deflects attention away from its striking blooms. Sitting on stems above the aqueous leaves, buds open to produce many lance shaped flowers in tones warm enough to replicate a hot sunset over the Arabian desert. You will see for yourself when your Aloe Vera flowersand it flowers for up to ten weeks! The ability to store fluid enabled Aloe Vera to thrive in places with little rainfall . This has made it ideal for rockeries, as an indoor plant and for low water use gardens. One of the world's most interesting plants, indoors or outdoors, easy to grow, just ensure you keep your Aloe Vera frost-free over the winter. A good idea is to grow it in a pot outside in the warm months, then bring indoors as a houseplant for the cold months.
