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.
The information on this page is based on research conducted in our nursery library and from online sources as well as from observations made of this plant as it grows in our nursery, in the nursery's garden and in other gardens that we have visited. We have also incorporated comments received from others and always appreciate getting feedback of any kind from those who have some additional information, particularly if this information is contrary to what we have written or includes additional cultural tips that would aid others in growing Clivia x cyrtanthiflora.
