Gloriosa lindenii Seeds

Zambian Flowering Perennial Bulb

Gloriosa is a genus of ten species in the plant family Colchicaceae, and include the formerly recognised genus Littonia. They are native in tropical and southern Africa to Asia and naturalised in Australia and the Pacific as well as being widely cultivated worldwide. The most common English names are flame lily, fire lily, gloriosa lily, glory lily, superb lily, climbing lily, and creeping lily. They are tender, tuberous rooted deciduous climbing perennials, adapted to summer rainfall with a dormant dry season. They are also very well suited to pot culture which means that you can successfully grow them in pots in areas that receive frost. If left undisturbed in containers they will multiply like crazy. They make excellent cut flowers and last up to 10 days in a vase. The genus name Gloriosa comes from the word gloriosus, which means handsome. Gloriosa lindenii is found in Congo and Zambia.
