One of the things that caught my eye most when I first saw this aloe at the Dry Garden was it’s deep, red colored tentacles. I took it home and stuck it in the ground immediately. I really wanted that red focal point in my yard. Little did I know at the time, but have learned since, that many succulents change colors depending on how stressed they are. Stressing can come from direct, all day sunlight or a deprivation of water. As you can see in the “After” shot, mine looks like it’s been at the spa for the last few months; it’s turned bright green. My guess is that with all the new plantings around it, it was sipping on some of their spa water.
Okay, Missy. Time to dry you out and get me back my red this Fall.
