Aloe brevifolia 'Blue Elf'

Aloe brevifolia hybrid

Blue Elf Aloe is one of the best all-around landscape Aloes, but equally great in containers! They have short, narrow blue-green spiny leaves with the entire plant maintaining and vertical growth habit for a groundcover type Aloe. They flower for a prolonged period, typically starting in late winter blooming well into spring. Numerous bloom stalks rise about 1ft. above the foliage and hold bright orange flowers that hummingbirds can't resist. Easy to grow. Fast growing. (Plants ship bare root)

Exposure Full sun to part sun (will tolerate deeper shade but will bloom less and have more of an average green color.)

Grows to 1-1.5 ft. high x 2 ft. wide

Hardiness Zone 9-11

PLANT VARIATIONS

DOMESTIC USA SHIPPING

Our horticulture experts will determine if the plant needs to be shipped in soil, based on the particular species, size, and your hardiness zone. In general, agaves, cacti, and succulents will be shipped without soil, called “bare root.” (see below) We will find the best freight carrier to your address. While our top priority is a healthy, happy plant delivery, unfortunately, we have no control over how carriers handle our packages, nor where they are dropped off.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

All plants shipped beyond the USA mainland, including Alaska and Puerto Rico, will be shipped “bare root.” (see below) All plants shipped internationally, including Puerto Rico, require a Phytosanitary Certificate from the US Department of Agriculture.

Please check with your local customs department to see if you need any additional certifications, such as import permits. Note: while we have extensive experience and a track record of successful international plant shipments, we are unable to guarantee the plants' condition upon arrival.

BARE ROOT SHIPPING

This process simplifies shipping by dramatically decreasing the package weight, which keeps the cost of shipping as low as possible.
