Aloe Vera
Aloe vera, often known as medicinal aloe, is a delightful tropical perennial that grows upright, showcasing lovely rosettes of succulent leaves. The name reflects its rich history in folk medicine. Its lance-shaped green leaves, which can grow up to 18 inches long, are beautifully spotted with white and have charming whitish marginal teeth. Over time, these leaves mature to a lovely gray-green hue, and the plants themselves can reach heights of up to 3 feet.
Flowering typically occurs during summer on mature plants, and it's essential for container plants to be grown in the best conditions, like sunny windows or outdoor spots, to bloom their brightest. You'll find striking orange flowers that form in charming clusters atop sturdy stalks, reaching as high as 3 feet.
Medicinal aloe is treasured for its nurturing healing and cosmetic properties found in its sap. This wonderful sap is commonly added to many commercial cosmetics, especially in soothing lotions and creams, thanks to its ability to hydrate dry skin. If you gently break a leaf, its sap can be applied directly to burns for soothing relief. While the sap isn’t meant for eating, it has been traditionally used to aid in treating peptic ulcers. Many also affectionately refer to medicinal aloe as burn plant or burn aloe. It's synonymous with and was formerly known as Aloe barbadensis.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
