As with the more common Clivia miniata, this plant has proven to be a tough evergreen plant that is best suited to a dry shaded location in a fairly frost free garden but it will tolerate situations with regular irrigation as well as winter temperatures into mid 20s F. In colder climates plants can be brought in during the winter. A very ornamental selection that we have been building stock on for over 20 years before releasing it in 2021.

This plant was a selected seedling grown at our nursery from seed purchased as "Nakamura Interspecific" seed in April 2001 from Connie & James Abel of Pretoria and reportedly came off of a selected plant from Japanese Clivia breeder Yoshikazu Nakamura, the pre-eminent Japanese Clivia breeder who grows his plants at his Nakamura (Nakamura Kunshien Clivia Breeding Plantation) in Mobara, a city in the Chiba Prefecture on the main island of Honshu in Japan. Based on its look it is presumed to be a hybrid between Clivia miniata and Clivia nobilisand so we list this plant as a selection of Clivia x cyrtanthiflora (the name used for the cross between these two species). This is a sister seedling of Clivia x cyrtanthiflora 'Orange Trumpet', which has slightly tall flower stalks and smaller more pendulous and darker flowers. 

The information about Clivia x cyrtanthiflora 'Tangerine Burst' that is displayed on this web page is based on research conducted in our nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We will also include observations made about this plant as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens that we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We also incorporate comments that we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they share cultural information that aids others growing this plant.
