There may be no live succulent plant as storied as Aloe vera, revered through the ages for its health, beauty, medicinal and skin care uses (even Cleopatra was said to be a fan — yes, that Cleopatra). With its thick, fleshy, lance-shaped leaves, Aloe vera is a striking, tropical-style, drought-tolerant houseplant or garden plant that adds life to your home and garden décor. When the weather warms up, you can place this versatile succulent on your patio or porch. If you dwell in a place where frost is not a concern, Aloe vera can live and thrive outside year-round. It’s always a treat to see (or hear) hummingbirds make a beeline for the yummy yellow flowers on tall spikes. When not treating hummingbirds, Aloe vera can be used to soothe minor cuts, scrapes, and sunburns.

APPEARANCE

Part of what makes succulents so fascinating are the myriad ways they express themselves throughout the year, depending on light, season, temperature, soil, and hydration. For those and other reasons, the plants you receive may not look exactly as they appear on our website.
