Clivia - Bulb for Shade Garden


I received this plant as a gift last April. I was told that it needed shade, real shade.


I thought that would be better to put on a part of the garden that there was some sun. I was instructed to not do that. Shade, shade, shade.


Well, I am very glad  I followed the instructions. It is a bulb. Really amazing plant.


This plant is in a part of my garden that not even azaleas handled :) It is beside a hydrangea that I am not sure how is surviving there either... Hey, not complaining. Love them both. Isn't the color astonishing? For no sun!!! Love it!

Thanks for visiting.
Update: Do La Do told me the name of the plant. Yay!!!! Clivia. Thanks so much Do La Do.

P.S. Could not find out the name of this plant.

  2. That looks like a clivia to me - and yes they do prefer the shade - they tend to scorch when they are in the sun and the flowers do not last as long.
