Clivia x cyrtanthiflora

Flowering from late winter to early spring, Clivia x cyrtanthiflora is a rare and highly sought-after hybrid between Clivia miniata and Clivia nobilis. With its graceful, pendulous blooms in glowing shades of coral-orange softly fading to creamy yellow at the tips, this stunning hybrid is a standout addition to any shaded garden. Each sturdy flower stem carries a generous cluster of elegant, nodding, trumpet-shaped blooms that rise above lush clumps of glossy, dark green, strap-like foliage, creating a spectacular seasonal display.

Perfect for brightening shaded garden beds, beneath trees, woodland plantings, or decorative pots, this hardy evergreen perennial is as easy to grow as it is beautiful. Once established, it is drought tolerant, long-lived, and gradually forms dense, impressive clumps that become more floriferous with age. The unique bi-coloured flowers also make excellent cut blooms, bringing long-lasting colour and elegance indoors.

For best results, grow Clivias in a well-drained position with dappled shade or filtered light. They prefer to be kept on the dry side, particularly during the cooler months when excessive watering can reduce flowering. Regular watering during the heat of summer will keep plants looking their best. Clivias thrive with a restricted root run, making them ideal for pots, and can also be grown indoors in bright, indirect light, on sheltered verandahs, or beneath eaves. Avoid disturbing the roots unnecessarily, as plants can take time to re-establish after repotting, and protect them from heavy frost for the best performance.
