Aloe 'Conejo Flame' - An upright growing clustering aloe to 3-4 feet tall with attractive narrow deep green leaves with medium size teeth and vibrant red-orange flowers on a branched 2-3-foot-tall inflorescence late winter into spring.

Plant in a well-drained soil in full sun to light shade in the desert and water occasionally to infrequently. Cold hardy down to at least 25° F - undamaged here at those temperatures in 2007.

This is a selection we made from plants growing at Jeff Chemnick's Aloes in Wonderland garden on Conejo Road in the foothills above Santa Barbara. It certainly has affinities with Aloe dawei, which we also grow, but has longer straighter leaves, blooms at a different time with richer red colored slightly larger flowers on a taller inflorescence. The origin of this plant has long been forgotten by Jeff Chemnick, so we commemorate his garden's location and the vibrant color of flowers with this name. We have grown this very nice plant since 2017. 

Information displayed on this page about Aloe 'Conejo Flame' is based on our research conducted about this plant in our nursery library as well as from information provided by reliable online resources. We also include our own observations made about it as it has grown in the nursery gardens and other gardens visited, as well how the crops of this plant performed in the containers in our nursery field. We will also include comments received from others and welcome hearing from anyone who has information about this plant, particularly if it includes cultural information aiding others to better grow it.

 
San Marcos Growers closed for regular business at the end of 2025 as the property is being developed for affordable housing.
While our gates remain closed, we will open them by appointment so we can liquidate remaining plants, supplies and equipment. The plants remaining in the field are listed on our Live Inventory Page.
