Notes
Arabian aloe (Aloe rubroviolacea) is a succulent for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun and dry, sandy or loamy soil. It is evergreen and drought tolerant, and bees and birds visit the blooms. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Give it room, since it can spread 47 to 71 inches.
Pairs well with Aeonium, American century plant, and Stonecrop.
