Do you have Aloe blooming where you are? Most Aloe bloom in winter, attracting hummingbirds to their bright tubular flowers when little else is available. Plus, they sure are fun to look at! Hope this brings a smile to those in the Chicago, Detroit, and Pittsburgh areas. 😊
.
Zones: Most aloes can be grown outdoors in Zones 9-11. There are a few varieties that are hardy to Zone 7 or 8, and some heat-tolerant to Zone 12. The ideal growing temperature for most aloes is 40° to 90°F, but many will do fine with brief periods as low as 25° or up to 100°F.
.
When to Plant: Spring is the best time to transplant aloes because they do most of their growing in the summer.
.
Design Tip: Plant with companion plants like succulent ground covers, agaves, prickly pear, spurge and other waterwise or drought-tolerant plants.
