About Clivia miniata

The Bush Lily stands tall at about 1.5 to 2 feet and spreads out to 2 to 3 feet. Its verdant leaves are a sight to behold, but what truly steals the show are its amber and scarlet flowers that bloom during the spring and off-seasons. And let's not forget the ornamental fruits that come in shades of amber, green, and maroon.

Did you know? Despite its stunning beauty, the Bush Lily is actually a venomous flora. So, while it's a delight to look at, it's best to keep it out of reach of children and pets.
