Aloe framesii 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 inland conditions but protect this succulent aloe from frost and do not water more than the normal rainfall in summer. It may need some water in winter when the temperatures are above 10 degrees Celsius. |
| Plant Aloe framesii against a slope with good drainage where rainfall is high. |
| Aloe framesii is a stemless aloe, height just under 1 meter. This aloe sends out offsets to form small groups. The blue rosette is an asset in any garden. Young Aloe framesii plants have fine dots. |
| The photo below was 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. |
