cliviaclivia
genusgenusElegant flowering plants native to South Africa, characterized by their strappy, dark green leaves arranged in a fan-like pattern. These robust plants produce clusters of trumpet-shaped blooms in vibrant shades atop tall stalks.
Etymology
The genus was named in honor of Lady Charlotte Clive, Duchess of Northumberland, who was an avid plant enthusiast in the 1800s.
Interesting fact!
Unlike most members of their family, these plants develop fleshy berries instead of dry seed capsules, which can take up to a year to ripen and turn bright red.
