This Aloe was growing in a ~2' shallow ~6" pot for about 4 years. I decided where I wanted to put it last year but as you can see, it was damaged by the freeze but it had about 15 flowers on it this spring. Ideas on what should I do with it? I would like to clean it up a bit. It is on a small mound where there will be two tiers. I am going to plant cactus and succulents around it.

Anyone have an idea what species this is?

Thank you.

Aloe vera, the medicinal aloe from ancient times. Take a look at some pictures here and see if you agree.

Aloe Vera (Aloe vera)

It will always tend to look a little sad at this time of year, with the summer heat and drought affecting it, but you will see a major renewal in the fall or winter when it starts raining again. So maybe leave it alone for now and see how it changes then.
