Description

The Safari Sunrise Aloe from the Southern Living Plants is the blooming aloe you never knew you needed! It produces incredibly showy bloom spikes dually toned in pink-orange and cream white. Additionally, it has an impressive bloom period that lasts from early summer and through winter! Therefore, it's one of the most prolific bloomers around.

The Safari Sunrise Aloe also features the classic aloe foliage everyone knows and loves! Soft teeth line the edges of its thick evergreen foliage straps. In addition, this foliage is an attractive green with blue-grey hues mixed in.

The Safari Sunrise Aloe is a fast-grower with a clumping habit, and maxes out at 3' H x 3.5' W. Once well established in your landscape, this easy care variety won't require much maintenance or attention.

Gardeners in dry areas will appreciate the Safari Sunrise Aloe! It's notably water-wise and drought tolerant. So it works phenomenally in Xeriscape gardens.

The Safari Sunrise Aloe is ideal for Southern gardens due to its heat tolerance.

Use it in rock gardens, mass plantings, or as a ground cover. Alternatively, plant the Safari Sunrise Aloe in a container. This has the added benefit of retaining mobility for it if you have to move the plant indoors in order to protect it from hard freezes.

Try it with a couple of other popular Xeriscaping Southern Living varieties, the Orange Rocket Barberry and Color Guard Yucca. Also, take a look at its sibling, the Safari Rose Aloe.

Safari Sunrise Aloe Care

Hardy from USDA Zones 9-11. However, there is a simple solution for gardeners in Zones 8 and below: Plant the Safari Sunrise Aloe in a pot and bring it indoors for the winter. Put it in a sunny window and return it outside once the threat of frost passes in spring.

Plant in Full Sun to Partial Shade for best results.

The Safari Sunrise Aloe grows best in sandy soil with fast drainage. Poor drainage often results in root rot.

Water 1-2 times per week during the first growing season if planted in the ground. If planted in a container, water 2-3 times per week.

Aloe plants rarely need fertilizer to thrive. However, apply a liquid houseplant fertilizer in spring to ensure that it has all of the minerals and nutrients it needs to thrive.

Care & Use

Getting Started: Understanding Your New Plant

Review your plant's information on our website or the tag that comes with it. Be mindful of sunlight preferences, soil type, and spacing needs.

Our plants are adaptable but grow best in the correct USDA Zones. Click here to learn more about your USDA Zone.

Planting Instructions

Dig a Hole

First, dig a hole three times the width of the root ball of your plant. This makes it easier for the root system to spread out quickly. Dig the hole deep enough that your plant will sit level with or slightly above the ground around it.

Amend Your Soil

Mix your native soil with rich gardening soil to provide extra nutrients and support plant growth. If your soil is clay-heavy, we recommend mixing your native clay soil with equal parts of Pine Bark mulch to improve drainage and the overall breathability of your soil.

Place Your Plant

Examine the roots. If they appear tightly bound, gently coax them apart; this ensures they can spread into the new soil. Place your plant in the hole so the top of the rootball is even with the surrounding soil—Backfill around it with the amended soil mixture. The roots need access to oxygen for your plant to thrive, so do not cover the rootball; place soil around it.

Mulch Your Plants

Top the soil beneath your plant with 3-4 inches of mulch to help it retain moisture. Be careful not to cover the rootball - your new plants roots need access to oxygen.

Water Your Plant

Soak the plant with a hose afterward to hydrate the plant, as well as get the soil and mulch situated. Develop a regular watering schedule based on your plant's needs and local weather patterns. Remember, over watering is just as, if not more, harmful than under watering.

Spacing Recommendations

Safari Sunrise Aloe Spacing Recommendations

Plant your Safari Sunrise Aloe about 2 feet apart for a seamless planting. Otherwise, plant them 4+ feet apart for space between clumps.
