Aloe barbadensis - Medicinal Aloe, Aloe vera

Medicinal Aloe is an evergreen perennial well known for its medicinal uses. Leaves of mature plants are wide at the base and taper to nearly a point with tiny serrated teeth along the margins. Grey-green in color the leave surface has a waxy, powdery-like coat. During cold weather, drought, or in intense full sun sights, the green color typically gives way to a dull brown or gray. Not to worry though, as conditions improve, plant pigments recover. Aloes bloom with a tall, narrow flower stalk with yellow to orange tubular blooms. Hummingbirds and other pollinators find them irresistible. Plant in well-drained, loose soil.
