- Aloe Brevifolia is an evergreen succulent with rosettes of gray leaves that build up on each other to form a clump up to 1 foot (30 cm) tall. Each rosette gets to just over 3 inches (7.5 cm) wide, bearing broadly triangular fleshy gray leaves with white spines along the edges and a few along the keel of the lower surface. The leaves can turn rosy pink or golden yellow in full sun.
- In the late spring appear spikes of orange tubular flowers in unbranched spikes that rise up to 24 inches (60 cm). Aloe is a very forgiving plant, and a well-grown plant can be quite beautiful.
