Growing Clivia
Thursday, November 6, 7:00 – 8:00 p.m.
Members $15 w Non-members $20
Native to South Africa, Clivias entered the horticultural world
in the mid 19th century as a Victorian collector’s plant. They are
now widely available, although rare cultivars still sell at
premium prices. Clivas thrive on a sunny windowsill, and with
proper care present an amaryllis–like burst of orange or yellow
blooms in early spring. Join expert grower Mike Riska to learn
how it’s done. Refreshments will be served.
This lecture includes the opportunity to place a group
mail-order for Clivia miniata ‘Belgian Strain’ and return to DCH
to pot up the bare root plants upon arrival.
HFHG 2008 has finished. Check back with us for more upcoming lectures!
