Description:

Aloe ‘Blue Elf’ is a petite, tight-clumping aloe prized for its slender, blue-gray leaves edged with delicate teeth. Its compact form and silvery foliage make it a standout in both container plantings and groundcover beds.

In late winter through early spring, it blooms with eye-catching spikes of orange tubular flowers—often a magnet for hummingbirds. Under stress or sun exposure, the foliage may blush reddish, adding seasonal contrast.
