Aloe ciliaris
climbing Aloe
Description
Aloe ciliaris, also called the climbing aloe, is a unique and versatile aloe species native to southern Africa. It is characterized by its long, trailing stems that can climb or cascade, reaching several meters in length. Its leaves are slender and green, with distinctive, soft, white hairs along the margins and underside, giving a slight texture. During the winter months, it produces eye-catching, coral-red tubular flowers that attract hummingbirds. Aloe ciliaris is easy to cultivate and thrives in full sun or partial shade, requiring well-drained soil. It can be used as a groundcover, in hanging baskets, or as a climber. Propagation is easy with stem cuttings, which root quickly.
