Please note A5 and A15 are the same – bred from the same parents, they are a different seed batch.<\/p>\n

Plant clivia after autumn rains. Include some general slow-release fertilizer. Plant approximately 80cm apart.<\/p>\n

Apply mulch to suppress weeds and conserve moisture. Feed every spring with a balanced fertilizer (such as blood and bone) at a handful per square metre. Slug bait may be required as buds form, as they are susceptible to damage. Protect from frosts.<\/p>\n

Clivia is best used en masse under palms\/trees, or in other shady spots in your garden. Clivia thrives where many other plants won\u2019t survive in shady, dry conditions. They are excellent in large containers in a shady corner of the patio or deck.<\/p>\n
