Aloe framesi from South Africa |
Aloe framesii is a blue aloe without a stem. |
| Aloe framesii grows in the winter rainfall areas of the western coast of South Africa - dry arid conditions in summer and no frost in winter. |
| Aloe framesii adjust fairly well to summer rainfall and garden conditions. Protect this succulent aloe from frost. |
| Plant Aloe framesii against a slope with stone for good drainage where rainfall is high. |
| Aloe framesii is a stemless aloe, height of the rosette is just under 1 meter. |
| Young Aloe framesii plants have fine dots. This aloe sends out offsets to form small groups |
| 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. |
| The photos below were taken in the winter. It is very difficult to see these aloes in summer when all the surrounding plants are dry and the aloes are not blooming, the slate blue-grey color of Aloe framesii melts into the granite rocks perfectly. |
