Kaffir Lily "Clivia miniata"
Clivia, is a evergreen tuberous rooted, clumping perennial, that flowers in the winter or early spring with a spectacular bloom. The thick green ribbon like leaves makes is one cool plant for the tropical look in your garden. They like bright shade and must have excellent drainage as they are not drought tolerant.
In A Nutshell: A plant for zones 9a-11, sandy, humusy, well drained soil, partial shade and propagation is by division or seed.
This plant was given to me by Irene Garcia of Gregory, Texas and this page is dedicated to her.....
