This is an archive page preserved for informational use.   [2nd Image] Habit and Cultural Information Category: Bulb/Tuber/Rhizome etc. Family: Amaryllidaceae (Onions) Origin: South Africa (Africa) Evergreen: Yes Flower Color: Yellow Bloomtime: Winter/Spring Fragrant Flowers: Yes Synonyms: [Clivia miniata 'Aurea'] Height: 1-2 feet Width: 1-2 feet Exposure: Shade Summer Dry: Yes Irrigation (H2O Info): Medium Water Needs Winter Hardiness: 25-30° F Clivia miniata 'Arturo's Yellow' (Select Yellow Clivia) - This selected form of the unique yellow-blooming Clivia typically commences flowering in mid to late winter and continues through early spring. After flowering, plants can produce showy fruit which, like the flowers, are yellow. As with the species it is a very tough evergreen plant that is best suited to a dry shaded location in a fairly frost free garden but it will tolerate situations with regular irrigation as well as winter temperatures into the low 20s F. In colder climates plants can be brought in during the winter. This seedling strain was developed by our Production Supervisor Arturo Garcia. It is a result from crossing several of our plants that are particularly vigorous and have broad petals and deep yellow flowers. The progeny of this cross are all very robust plants with large flowers. We first started selling these plants in 2005.  The information presented on this page is based on research that we have conducted about this plant in our library and from reliable online sources. We also consider observations we have made of it growing in the nursery's garden and in other gardens we have visited, as well how it performs in our nursery crops out in the field. We will incorporate comments that we receive from others as well and welcome getting feedback from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if they have knowledge of cultural information that would aid others in growing Clivia miniata 'Arturo's Yellow'.     [MORE INFO]
