Cooper Aloe

Aloe cooperi is a South African grassland aloe discovered by William Burchell in his early travels in South Africa. It was rediscovered by Thomas Cooper, after whom it was named. Grass aloe occurs in moist habitats and dry rocky areas, mainly in Natal, Swaziland, and Mpumalanga. The plant grows singly or in small groups from offshoots at ground level. Plants may be stemless or short stemmed up to 6 inches tall. The leaves are often yellowish green with the upper surface usually unspotted, though occasionally they have a few white spots lower down. The thin, grass-like, succulent leaves are held in a fan shape and grow 2-feet tall. The inflorescence is simple and bold; the flowers vary in color from greenish-cream to apricot and salmon pink. The blooming stalks grow to 3 feet tall and bear very attractive 1陆-inch flower heads. Hardy to 10 degrees Fahrenheit, Cooper's aloe attracts nectar-feeding birds such as sunbirds and hummingbirds and is deer resistant.
