Some of our latest Interspecifics Clivias


New !!!!! Clivia interspecific hybrids flowering at Cape Flora

We were excited when the following new hybrids flowered for us recently. We find we are moving towards developing pink interspecific hybrids as a result of selfing some Nobilis by Miniata crosses.

We are also excited to discover that we are getting more flowers which are infused with green. This is as a result of ( Gardenii x Caulescens ) when crossed with miniata.

Lastely we have also flowered red interspecifics and these result from crossing red strains of nobilis with red miniatas.
For the uninitiated ! Interspecifics are hybrids developed by crossing the various Clivia species such as Clivia miniata , Clivia nobilis , Clivia gardenii and Clivia caulescens - all of which can result in a fascinating and absorbing hobby !

Clivia caulescens which occurs in mountain forests of Mpumalanga ( North - Eastern RSA ) can reach a height of 1,5 to 2 metres. The larger plants often fall over rocks and become serpentine in nature.

They prefer damper, shaded, frost - free conditions and often grow in leaf litter on rocks. They differ from other clivias in that they develop long stems with aerial roots. They can flower throughout the year but the main flowering period is in Spring.
They are easy to grow as a garden plant in frost - free areas and germinate easily from seed.



Clivia robusta from Kwazulu Natal is another plant with a tall growth form often reaching 2 metres in height and I will discuss this plant in a later article.
