Notes
'Elf' retro succulents carmine aloe (Aloe 'Elf') is a succulent for borders, containers, and specimen plantings. 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 or part sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. It is evergreen and drought tolerant, and hummingbirds and bees visit the blooms. Deer rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Angelonia, Vetiver, and Bougainvillea.
