Aloe 'AJR'

Aloe 'AJR' is green with candy apple red striations, raised bumps along the surface of each leaf, teeth around the margins, and can reach a mature size of up to 2 feet tall and wide! Uniquely for plants of this genus, Aloe ‘AJR’ is also a frequent bloomer, sending up flower stalks laced with yellow and orange blooms that are magnets for butterflies and hummingbirds. Equally at home in a container or directly in the temperate landscape, this variety is sure to stand out within any succulent collection.

In order to encourage growth and blooming, it is best to situate ‘AJR’ in full sun – though it can tolerate part sun conditions as well. Due to the volume of water stored within its thick leaves, infrequent but thorough watering is best, and the leaves will begin to soften slightly when the plant requires a good drink. A porous soil mixture in a well-draining pot will also help to stave off rot and pests, as will ample airflow around the leaves and soil surface. Take care to protect ‘AJR’ from frost during the winter months, as it is only hardy to Zone 10.

Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
