It has strap-like foliage to about 2 feet tall with clusters of trumpet shaped dark salmon-orange flowers that lighten with age and dangle down on stalks that rise well above the foliage on stout dark stems. Flowering can occur nearly in any month of the year but primarily in spring. Plant in a morning sun or and shaded area. We have found this plant is hardy to temperatures down to 25° F under the protection of trees. This plant was a selected seedling grown at our nursery from seed purchased in 2001 as F2 Clivia x cyrtanthiflora x C. cyrtanthiflora 'Yellow'. It came from Rudo Lotter of Cyrtanthiflora Breeders in Pretoria South Africa. We first released this plant for sale in 2017 and have other selected plants from this group, some pure yellow and others orange and yellow that we hope to introduce in the future.  The information that is presented on this page is based on research we have conducted about this plant in our library and from reliable online sources. We also consider observations we have made of it 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 incorporate comments that we receive from others as well and welcome getting feedback from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if they know of cultural information that would aid others in growing  Clivia cyrtanthiflora 'Salmon Beauty'.     [MORE INFO]
