Clivia x cyrtanthiflora (Hybrid Clivia) - This evergreen perennial is the result of crossing 2 species of Clivia, Clivia miniata and C. noblis. It has strap-like foliage to about 2 feet tall with clusters of orange flowers that dangle down on stalks that rise just above foliage. Flowering can occur nearly in any month of the year. Plant in near frostless and shaded areas of your garden or grow indoors in containers. We have found this plant is hardy to temperatures down to 26 degrees F. Our plants from propagation stock originally provided by Ilie Gaceu of the Strybing Arboretum.
This information about Clivia x cyrtanthiflora displayed is based on research conducted in our library and from reliable online resources. We will also note observations that we have made about it as it grows in the gardens in our nursery and those elsewhere, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments we receive from others, and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
