Aloe cooperi
A grass aloe from eastern southern Africa that produces a fan of long, keeled leaves and a dense head of pink-orange to salmon flowers visited by sunbirds. It ranges from the warm coast of KwaZulu-Natal up into the colder mountains of Mpumalanga and Eswatini, and Zulu people eat its shoots and flowers. As a summer-rainfall grassland plant, it needs full sun, summer water and a drier, cooler winter.
Where it grows wild
The sources we could open give its range but not a detailed habitat. As a grass aloe from the summer-rainfall east of South Africa, it grows among grasses in open grassland, often in damp spots. Treat this habitat detail as general knowledge that was not confirmed this round.
It occurs from the warm coastal belt of KwaZulu-Natal, near sea level, up to the colder mountainous regions of Mpumalanga and Eswatini. The sources consulted gave no exact upper limit.
