Does Aloe 'Safari Rose' bloom, and does it attract pollinators?

Yes, Aloe 'Safari Rose' produces vibrant coral-pink to rose-red flower spikes in late winter and early spring, creating a striking display. The nectar-rich flowers attract hummingbirds, bees, and other pollinators, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens.
