Description
Gloriosa Rothschildiana, commonly known as the Flame Lily, is an exotic and dramatic summer-flowering climber prized for its striking, flame-like blooms. The unusual flowers feature bold red petals edged with bright yellow, which curl back as they open, creating a truly eye-catching display. Flowering from mid to late summer, this plant brings a strong tropical feel to gardens, patios and conservatories.
This vigorous but elegant plant produces slender climbing stems that can be trained up trellis, canes or obelisks, making it ideal for containers, sheltered borders and glasshouse growing. Despite its exotic appearance, Gloriosa is straightforward to grow in the right conditions and rewards gardeners with a succession of spectacular blooms throughout the season.
Gloriosa Rothschildiana is a tender perennial and must be protected from frost. When grown in pots, it can easily be moved indoors or into a frost-free space over winter. With warmth, light and support, it delivers one of the most dramatic floral displays available from summer bulbs.
