Description
Tired of seeing one plant after another succumb to our extreme Arizona climate? In this class you will discover the many varieties of aloes—beyond Aloe vera—that are best suited for our harsh Arizona summers. We will discuss placement, sun tolerance, frost hardiness and watering needs. Many aloes have different blooming seasons, and if properly selected you can have something in bloom all year long. Flowers range from bright yellow to vibrant red, and all shades in between. You will be amazed at the butterflies and hummingbirds that these beautiful plants attract to your desert garden. Participants will walk the Garden's trails to view the many aloes growing there.
