Clivia miniata 'Variegata'

Clivia has been called, "The perfect houseplant."Once available only to wealthy plant collectors, Clivia (Kaffir Lily) is a South African tropical species. Plant breeder Joe Solomone dedicated many years to breeding a reliable Clivia from seed, making it affordable. This splendid variegated Clivia comes from one of the famous Solomone hybrids. Despite being so difficult to obtain, the plant is quite easy to grow, enjoying a sunny window or other brightly-lighted area. It takes about 4 to 5 years to begin blooming, but then blossoms reliably every summer. The plant reaches 18" x 24" wide, with big 2-inch blooms of clear orange. It actually performs better when pot-bound.
