Notes
'Citrina' Natal lily (Clivia miniata 'Citrina') is a perennial for containers, shade gardens, and borders. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun and dry to average soil of most types. Ivory white to creamy yellow flowers with yellow centers form clusters above dark green, strap-like leaves. Large green fruit turns red and lasts for two years.
Pairs well with Bluebell, Shrimp plant, and Blue star fern.
