Aloe comosa from South Africa is |
a blue tree aloe with a very long inflorescence of pink flowers |
| Aloe comosa is a tree aloe growing to 2 meters high with a 3 meter inflorescence. |
| This succulent aloe grows in a winter rainfall area. Rainfall is very low and summers are hot. |
| Aloe comosa is not a difficult aloe to grow in a summer rainfall area with a low rainfall or in a pot with good drainage protected from summer rain. |
| Light frost occur in winter in the region where Aloe comosa grows, but this aloe grows mainly on slopes where the cold air will not remain for long. |

The blue Aloe comosa plants contrast nicely with the green plants in a garden setting. The two plants at my feet are small compared to the very large inflorescens they produced. Aloe comosa blooms from a young age at a small size for an aloe that can grow 2+meter high. |
| Aloes are succulent plants, also known as fatplants. Given the right conditions they can be grown as a houseplant or as a potplant in the garden or greenhouse. |
