Aloe tenuior
Fence Aloe
Description
Aloe tenuior​ is a rambling aloe which forms a sprawling bush. They are most attractive when in flower with a mass of delicate yellow or red flowers. Although somewhat sprawling and untidy, the grey blue foliage, a long flowering period and medium height make it useful for mass background planting. The leaves, crowded on the ends of the branches, are quite soft and are serrated along the edges.
