summer blooming Aloes with salmon flowers (3)
Are you looking to add some salmon color to your waterwise garden in the summer? Here's a handy list of 3 Aloes that are good candidates.
Aloe maculata
Aloe maculata is very variable but its distinctly flat-topped inflorescences and usually uniformly colored flowers distinguish it from most other spotted aloes occurring in the same area. Flowers are held in on a multi-branched inflorescence over a long period in summer. Flowers of A maculata 'saponaria' usually yellow, but color ranges widely from yellow and red to salmon-orange. Flowering can occur any time of year, but usually in mid-winter in southern California. This is a very pretty aloe when in flower, especially if one is not that attracted to the spiky form of most aloe flowers. Seeds are reputedly poisonous. read more
Aloe mitriformis
There are not many aloes from the Cape that flower during summer, hence those that do are more sought after. In a single plant there can be 4-5 inflorescences bearing dense racemes of red, tubular, 3-4 centimeters long flowers. The shape of the racemes varies from cone-shaped to head-shaped or rounded. The flowers are tubular, droop, are a coral to bright red and appear in dense arrangements on the branched stalks. read more
