Purchased from an online source about seven years ago, this plant has just come into its own the last couple of years. Unlike the dozens of April-blooming Clivia miniata clones I have, this plant blooms in July and has smaller tubular flowers of a bright red with green tips.
The leaves of this plant are narrow, strap-like and dark green. I got seeds off of it last year, but they did not germinate–if it sets seed again, I’ll be more careful in germinating them in the house.
My 2020 plans for this plant are to move it back outside after it finishes flowering. I will wait to divide it until next spring–it looks like I can get three divisions from the one pot so far. I might try freezing some pollen from some of the miniata clones and then pollinate this plant with the frozen pollen to see if I can get some interesting seedlings–it would be a fun, if long term (minimum five years to see flowers) experiment.
