The aloe species bloom at different times so that the water saving garden can be in bloom throughout the year.  Aloes fit into every taste or garden, on their own, or combined with a wide variety of  plants and bulbs.
The succulent plants like the cotyledons are in bloom the most part of the year.  There are many different  mesembs that bloom in flashing colors for every season.   The succulent plants also known as fat plants, come in the most extraordinary shapes and sizes.   The garden is always beautiful, whether in bloom or not.
Below are a few photos of  aloe gardens, click on the links for gardens planted with:-   succulents,   flowers,   bulbs and  caudiciform plants. The aloes with photos and descriptions are arranged by size on our Seed catalog it will be easy to use the information in a  landscaping design for your garden.
