Clivia miniata (Orange Clivia) - An evergreen bulb-like perennial that forms clumps 2 feet tall and wide with narrow long dark green blunt-tipped leaves. In late winter into spring appear the clusters of pale orange flowers atop stalks rising above the foliage. Plant in a shaded area in well-drained soil and irrigate occasionally to very little - quite drought toleratnt in the shade of an oak tree. Hardy without damage to 25-28° F and recovers from short duration cold temperatures down to 20° F - grow indoors in containers in colder climates. Used for a medicine to alleviate childhood pains by the Zulu people.  Information displayed on this page about  Clivia miniata is based on the research conducted about it in our library and from reliable online resources. We also note those observations we have made of this plant as it grows in the nursery's garden and in other gardens, as well how crops have performed in our nursery field. We will incorporate comments we receive from others, and welcome to hear from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if they share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
