Clivia miniata Krugerrand Strain in terracotta pot with saucer

During a trip to Japan in the early 1990s, we visited the nurseryman who developed the Clivia miniata Krugerrand Strain. He had spent decades (it takes seven years from seed to flower) selecting and crossing yellow-flowered Clivia to create a seed strain that offers glowing heads of luscious, buttery blooms. His plants were remarkable for their uniformity, though we have noted slight variations in color and shape in our greenhouse. Grown in 12" terracotta pot with saucer.

Clivias have a well-earned reputation as rugged houseplants that require little attention. They grow best where they receive bright daylight but little or no direct sun—in a north-facing window, for example, or in an east-or west-facing window that is partially shaded by sheer curtains. You can summer your plant outdoors in a shady location. Just remember to bring it back in before frost.

We include growing instructions with every order. Clivias are undemanding, as long as plants are not overwatered during their winter dormant period. For more details, click on Growing Guide.
