Aloe 'Blue Elf' is a compact, vigorous grower and is cold hardy to around 20F. These young plants will rapidly grow into an impressive potted plant or, where the weather permits, can even be used as a landscaping ground cover. Like most Aloes, the flowers are very attractive to hummingbirds and occur primarily during the winter. It appears to be one of Edward C. Hummel's hybrids.
