We have seeds from aloe species and hybrids which bloom at different times enabling you  to grow aloes from seeds that will be in flower throughout the year.   Aloo seeds.   Aloes are succulent plants which need very little attention in the garden and give a nice show  whether in bloom or not.

It is important to remember that aloes are protected CITES plants. It is against the law to remove them from the wild in South Africa.
These plants may not be transported without a receipt from a nursery or a landowner who is in possession of a permit from Nature Conservation  to give/sell those aloe plants.
  
Terms used, explained very roughly.   rosette = the plant leaves;      inflorescens = whole flower stem;    raceme = top stem of the inflorescens with flowers ;
