There's one type of Aloe that grows in-ground over here on the east side of the state and we do on occasion get frost and an occasional freeze and they seem to survive fine. In the mid 1970's a co-worker gave me a single small pup that I planted in the ground and they spread profusely over the years, to the point that 12-15 years later, a huge area of the side yard was covered in them. One year we decided to do some major landscape changes and dug out hundreds of large and small Aloe plants; giving some to neighbors and throwing the remainder away. I kept one medium sized pup and potted it into a container and it has grown and multiplied. I left it at our house in Sebastian when we moved back up here to the Daytona area a few months ago but before we sell that house I'm going to bring it back here. Years ago, I was told they were Aloe saponaria but later someone said they were definitely not A. saponaria but they didn't know which one they were and I've never found out the exact species.

These were growing in a neighbors yard in Sebastian, photo taken Oct. 2016:
