Hardy Aloe
Very fun to grow hardy aloe relative that adds the lovely texture of Aloe foliage in colder climates than they will typically grow in. Every now and then a cold enough winter will come by to knock them back to the ground, but they usually resprout quickly from the roots. Towers of tubular orange yellow flowers are beloved by hummingbirds from mid summer to the fall.
