It is not a "Perennial" It can not tolerate freezing temperatures. Derryl Killan Horticulturist. |

Sadly, the big fleshy aloes are frost tender, so if you do use them, you will have to have them in large pots and move them indoors in winter. They are also unlikely to flower till very large. Have you thought of using New Zealand flax [Phormium}? It comes in many colours and sizes, and flowers when mature. It also doesn't have sharp thorns, which the aloe does have. |
