Clivia x cyrtanthiflora 'Tangerine Burst' - A robust plant with fairly long medium width green leaves. In late fall into winter it produces an inflorescence that rises just above the foliage bearing a broad full umbel of many 2-inch-wide bright tangerine orange flowers.

As with the more common Clivia miniata, this plant has proven to be a 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 mid 20s F. In colder climates plants can be brought in during the winter. A very ornamental selection that we have been building stock on for over 20 years before releasing it in 2021.

This 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 reportedly came off of a selected plant from Japanese Clivia breeder Yoshikazu Nakamura, the pre-eminent Japanese Clivia breeder who grows his plants at his Nakamura (Nakamura Kunshien Clivia Breeding Plantation) in Mobara, a city in the Chiba Prefecture on the main island of Honshu in Japan. Based on its look it is presumed to be a hybrid between Clivia miniata and Clivia nobilisand so we list this plant as a selection of Clivia x cyrtanthiflora (the name used for the cross between these two species). This is a sister seedling of Clivia x cyrtanthiflora 'Orange Trumpet', which has slightly tall flower stalks and smaller more pendulous and darker flowers. 

Information displayed on this page about Clivia x cyrtanthiflora 'Tangerine Burst' is based on our research conducted about this plant in our nursery library as well as from information provided by reliable online resources. We also include our own observations made about it as it has grown in the nursery gardens and other gardens visited, as well how the crops of this plant performed in the containers in our nursery field. We will also include comments received from others and welcome hearing from anyone who has information about this plant, particularly if it includes cultural information aiding others to better grow it.

 
San Marcos Growers closed for regular business at the end of 2025 as the property is being developed for affordable housing.
While our gates remain closed, we will open them by appointment so we can liquidate remaining plants, supplies and equipment. The plants remaining in the field are listed on our Live Inventory Page.
