Clivia Miniata

This is an indigenous South African plant, that only flowers for a few short months, but boy is it beautiful!

When we bought our house last year, I was blown away by the hundreds of Clivias, but I noticed that very few of them were actually flowering. During the dreary winter months this year I tackled the beds with Clivias in them, and thinned them down to just a few plants per bed. The result was loads and loads of flowers that have popped up and the plants look a lot more healthy.

These Clivias get very little actual sunlight as they are under some very dense trees, I water the bed they are in every two to three days and it seems like they are very happy with this treatment!

Have you got Clivias in your garden?
