Flowering Bulb
Clivia originate from South Africa and are the perfect plant for the most difficult parts of the garden. They grow well in dry shady spots under trees, or in the shady spots in the open garden where other plants struggle to survive.
The plant has strap like leaves similar to agapanthus but darker green in colour and thicker in texture. The flowers are mainly yellow to salmon orange and produced in numbers on a single stem, lasting a long time.
Clivias thrive in a shady spot in a frost free warm climate, they will survive an occasional light frost but are best grown in pots and taken inside during winter in colder areas. The plants flower best if they are let get slightly root bound and as Ive already mentioned dont require much water especially in the winter months.
