This South African evergreen is usually grown as a houseplant, especially in colder regions. Also known as Bush Lily, Flame Lily, Forest Lily or Kaffir Lily. They have stout stems to 2 feet and dark green leaves. The flowers are funnel-shaped, but more trumpet shaped than tubular and face outward.
PLEASE NOTE that we sell bare root slips, and it can take 2 to 5 years for the plant to mature and flower. When mature, the plant will require a dormant period of 6 to 8 weeks in early winter – keep plants in a cool area (less than 50 degrees but above freezing). After the rest period place in a heated room and keep nearly dry until flower stems are growing strongly and then water and fertilize freely from flowering to mid-fall.
