The gloriosa lily is a small perennial climber (max. 2 meters) with - graceful, lemon-yellow flowers. The species is native to South Africa, but is now cultivated worldwide for its unusual flowers. The plant grows from a tuber and dies in fall from above the ground.

During winter, it is best that you dig up the tuber and let it overwinter at a cool place. At the end of the winter you can put it in the soil again, so it will quickly grow again.

Van alle zaden is er helaas niets opgekomen. Alles gedaan volgens de richtlijnen. Ze zitten al 2 maanden in zaaigrond met plastic zakje erover. Jammer
