Overview

The Bottle-brush Aloe (Aloe vanbalenii) is a striking succulent, known for its curved, reddish-gold leaves that resemble a bottle brush. Thriving in USDA zones 9-11, it stretches up to 5 feet across and 2 feet tall. Ideal for xeriscaping, this low-maintenance plant prefers full sun to partial shade and requires well-draining soil. The yellow-orange flowers bloom atop 2-foot spikes, attracting pollinators and adding vibrant color to arid landscapes.
