Aloes
Beautiful and hardy, Aloes are a great addition to South African gardens. If you are looking for a plant that can survive in difficult conditions, then add an aloe to your landscape. There are 170 aloe species available in Southern Africa and more than 300 different species can be found throughout the world. While this succulent has been naturalised in Mexico, it is native to Africa. Aloes can add variety to a landscape as they are available in a wide range of sizes. These hardy succulents are a good choice for landscaping tougher terrain as they can grow in deserts and beaches. The leaves , which have a waxy exterior and sunken pores, help the plant to survive with a limited water supply.
