 Clivias
This website is dedicated to the South African Plant commonly
known as the Clivia.
The Clivia
(pronounced Clee-via) is indigenous to Southern Africa where
they grow wild in forested woodland areas.
These attractive
plants are members of the Amaryllidaceae family.
The flowers are
carried in clusters on stout stems and range in colour from rich
oranges to shades of deep red.
The leaves are
strap shaped, fleshy and even when not in flower; the foliage
provides excellent dark green cover.
 Prized
for their ability to flower in shade, they are an ideal plant
for massed planting under trees or in shady areas. Clivias are
extremely hardy and drought-resistant but do not thrive in
direct sunlight or frost areas.
On this website you
will find information on and photos of Clivias
that might be of interest to Collectors and Clivia growers. There are
also some plants offered for sale. Follow the links for more
information.
