Vital to Longwood’s legacy, our living plant collections enrich our displays with botanical diversity from all around the world. Part of our living plant collections, clivia have captivated plant enthusiasts with bright, colorful blossoms and dark, evergreen foliage since its discovery in the 1800s. Join us as we explore the plant breeding journey taken to produce a superior yellow flowering clivia, and share the secrets behind growing these very special plants. Highlights from our clivia collection will be on hand and in full bloom.
