Aloe pluridens, commonly known as French Aloe, is a tall, evergreen succulent native to the coastal forests and thicket vegetation of the Eastern Cape Province and KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. It can reach heights of up to 20 feet (6 meters), with thin, recurved, light-green leaves that have white teeth along the margins. These leaves form an attractive spiral pattern around the central rosette. French Aloe is particularly noted for its cone-shaped racemes of pink to dull scarlet flowers, which bloom from winter to early spring and are highly attractive to birds and bees.

French Aloe is valued for its architectural form and showy flowers, making it a striking feature in xeriscapes, rock gardens, and as a focal point in succulent collections. It is drought-tolerant and requires minimal maintenance once established. In cultivation, it prefers full sun to partial shade, well-draining soil, and only occasional watering. While it is generally disease-resistant, overwatering can lead to root rot. French Aloe is not typically associated with aggressive roots or significant pest problems. Due to its size and growth habit, it is best suited for spacious garden settings where it can be allowed to develop naturally.CC BY-SA 4.0
