Clivia 'Orange Trumpet' - A robust plant with fairly long medium width green leaves and a tight inflorescence that rises just above the foliage bearing a uniform umbel of many 1 1/2-inch-wide tangerine orange flowers with nicely flared petal tips.

As with the species Clivia miniata, this cultivar 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. A very ornate plant!

Clivia 'Orange Trumpet' plant was a selected seedling grown at our nursery from seed purchased as "Nakamura Interspecific" seed in April 2001 from Connie & James Abel of Pretoria and it reportedly came off of a selected plant from Japanese Clivia breeder Yoshikazu Nakamura. Judging from the flowers it certainly has Clivia miniata in its parentage - for more information about this parent species and the other cultivars of it we grow see Clivia miniata. We named and first released Clivia 'Orange Trumpet' for sale in 2017. 

The information displayed on this page about Clivia 'Orange Trumpet' is based on the research we have conducted about it in our nursery library as well as from information provided by reliable online resources. We also include our own observations made about this plant as it grows in the nursery gardens and other gardens visited, as well how the crops of this plant have performed in the containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we have received from others and welcome hearing from anyone with information about this plant, particularly if it includes cultural information that will aid others to better grow it.
