Don't agree at all with the hardiness rating given for this plant. I have it growing between the house and the block wall so is a little protected but we had a low of 16 degrees in Jan 07 and this plant showed no damage at all. Temp in this location was probably in the low-mid 20s that night.
Now realize I have depressa variety not this one. Disregard my previous comment.

I'd had sucess with this small aloe which is growing in a community pot of cacti and succulents.
This is the first year summer it's seen outside (and the first year I planted it in the community pot) and it really loved the hot and sunny weather. It also took the rainy periods fine too without becoming mushy and dying.
It'll spent the summer indoors in a south facing window.

San Francisco Bay Area: I grow this plant in the ground and in a container. it is outside, unprotected all year and the temps at night in the winter can go as low as 30 degrees. It has thrived and grown easily with minimal care. Hummingbirds go crazy for the flowers.

Great groundcover aloe... has attractive blue-green color, warty appearance and can get nice and pink in the winter. Flowers for ME have come out in spring (March to April or around there)... guess it's a variable plant. Often used in crosses since it's so durable and prolific. Suckers very close to 'mother' plant, making tight, compact mounds of rosettes. One of the best pot aloes. South AFrican native.
Has triangular, pale green, sharp toothed leaves held in rossettes. Young leaves sometimes have a reddish tint. Bears bright red, typically Aloe flowers.
Flowers September-November
Likes a very well drained soil in full sun. It isn't hardy and will only survive a minimum temperature of 50F.
