Mitre Aloe

Aloes are very popular and some of the most rewarding plants to cultivate. They make excellent accent plants owing to their often strange and inspiring architectures, as well as the bright flowers that offset the grey-green leaves. They are also very suitable as container plants and small aloes can be used very effectively as border plants at the edge of a bed. Although aloes are most often included in rockeries, their application in horticulture is not limited to this feature and they can be used in almost any setting and in conjunction with most common garden plants. Their natural adaptation to harsh and often arid climates makes aloes outstanding subjects for the water-wise garden. Aloe is a genus in the Asphodeloideae family containing about 600 species of flowering succulent plants. Aloes are sometimes confused with Agaves. Contrarily to Agaves, Aloe leaves contain a gel like sap. Another difference is that Aloes don't die after blooming as most Agaves do.

Aloe lineata is usually single stemmed up to 2 meters. Aloe lineata has bluish-green leaves with distinct reddish lines on both surfaces. The leaves are lined with firm reddish-brown teeth. Up to 4 racemes are formed consecutively from the rosette. The bird attracting flowers are large and range from light pink to dark red. This succulent prefers neutral soil.
