Aloe hyb. ‘Blue Elf’
Family: Asphodelaceae
Common Name: Blue Elf Aloe
Origin: Rancho Tissue hybrid selection; produced via tissue culture for uniformity
Description:
‘Blue Elf’ is a compact, sun-loving aloe prized for its vivid steel-blue foliage and striking black-tipped leaves. With a refined, upright form reaching 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide, this hybrid adds clean geometry and year-round color to water-wise gardens, rock landscapes, or modern containers.

Unlike many aloes, ‘Blue Elf’ is exceptionally cold hardy—tolerating brief freezes—and equally thrives in hot, exposed locations. Bred for performance and consistency, it offers reliable form, color, and drought tolerance in every plant.

  • Zones: USDA 8–11
  • Cold Hardiness: To 20–25°F (-6 to -4°C)
  • Sunlight: Full sun to light shade
  • Heat Tolerance: Outstanding; ideal for inland gardens

Planting & Care Tips:

  • Soil: Well-drained; tolerates poor, rocky soils
  • Watering: Extremely water-wise; drought-tolerant once established
  • Maintenance: Low; remove spent flower stalks or damaged leaves
  • Container Friendly: Yes, ideal for pots and courtyard accents
