Plant of the week

*Special*

Tuesday 18 to Sunday 30 May, 2010

Aloe vera (Aloe vera barbadensis sp.)

Aptly named the living first aid plant, no garden should be without this amazing plant. As a succulent, Aloe is hardy and easy to grow and propagate. Aloe prefers full sun and is frost-tender. It grows well in pots and can be moved around into warm conditions during winter if necessary.

Aloe has been used medicinally for more than 5000 years. It is arguably the most useful plant we know. It’s uses include – but not limited to – healing and soothing burns, minor cuts and abrasions, allergies and abscesses, inhibiting pain, relieving bowel issues, killing parasites, fungi and bacteria in the digestive system, stimulating and boosting the immune system, and the list goes on.

More information is available at Isabell Shipard’s Herbs are special web site.

Advanced mature Aloe plants (5-6 years old) are now available at Edible Landscapes Nursery for only $10.
