GLORIOSA SEEDS

The Gloriosa genus, commonly known as Flame Lily or Glory Lily, is a dramatic member of the Colchicaceae family. These climbing perennials are celebrated for their striking, exotic flowers with wavy, reflexed petals in vibrant shades of red, yellow, and orange, often resembling flames. Gloriosa adds a touch of tropical elegance to trellises, containers, and borders.

Native to tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and Asia, Gloriosa thrives in well-drained soils and sunny to partially shaded locations. These tender plants are ideal for warm climates but can be grown as summer bulbs in cooler regions. The species Gloriosa superba is particularly admired for its bold floral displays and adaptability as a container-grown plant.

The Gloriosa genus combines beauty, uniqueness, and versatility, making it a captivating choice for gardeners seeking show-stopping climbers with an exotic flair. However, caution is advised, as all parts of the plant are toxic.
