Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Unique, and exciting yellow-blooming clivia, flowering in mid to late winter through early spring, the blossoms followed by showy fruit, also yellow -- both making a good contrast with the rosettes of dark green, strap-like leaves. Evergreen, successful, and very tough in the dry shade in USDA zone 10 and tolerant of both summer water and temperatures into the low 20s F, USDA zone 9, but, for colder climates, also does well in containers that winter indoors.
