Aloe ferox - Bitter Aloe You are bidding for a pack of 5 seeds. A medium sized Aloe, averaging 2 - 3 metres, exceptionally 5 metres tall. It is single stemmed, the stem becoming sheathed in the old leaves as the plant ages as only damage or force removes the old leaves. Heavily spined, the specific name (ferox = fierce) refers to this. The plant is well known in traditional medicine and ranks with Aloe vera for usefulness in this respect. Flowering occurs in summer, although in the Northern hemisphere this may happen towards the latter half of the summer and into the autumn as is the case with many Aloes. The flowers are borne on tall (1 metre or more) branched spikes and are either red or, more rarely, red with white tips, depending on the population and location. The flowers may be followed by seed pods where pollination has occurred. In habitat the flowers are the favourites of sunbird's as they are attracted by the copious nectar. The plant may flower in 5 years from seed in it's natural state, but in the far better conditions it will find in cultivation, this is likely to happen much more quickly. Quite tough, it will still need some winter protection in frost prone areas during the coldest weather.

Postage & Handling |
International customers - streamlined postage for all seed orders I will now only be charging two rates for postage for all orders of seeds REGARDLESS of the number of packs bought.
Once these rates roll out across my listings, I will once more 'trust' the automated check out process, to make things simpler These new rates reflects the fact that I use PayPal postage for all my orders and these are the rates I need to charge to use this service This should allow me to dispatch your orders more rapidly than before as I will not need to visit the Post Office for the majority of the orders, normally inside 24 hours - although at busy times this may take a little longer |
I use SpoonFeeder Auction Software v5.95 |
