Clivia miniata 'Yellow' seeds grow into the yellow bush lily — the most prized and sought-after colour form of the bush lily, native to the subtropical biome of South Africa. The 'Yellow' designation indicates the rare yellow-flowered form; yellow-flowered Clivia are extraordinarily valuable in the collector world, commanding premium prices — particularly in Japan and China, where yellow Clivia collections have been amassed at extraordinary expense. Originally described as Vallota miniata by Lindley (1854); treated as var. citrina or var. flava in some older references. The genus Clivia was named by John Lindley after Lady Charlotte Clive (1787–1866), Duchess of Northumberland. An epiphyte in its natural habitat. One of the top-10 traded medicinal plants in South African traditional medicine. All parts toxic. Important: seeds from yellow Clivia will not reliably breed true — offspring are highly variable, with many reverting to orange; true yellow breeding requires years of careful selection. Family Amaryllidaceae.Partial to full shade; humus-rich well-drained soils or bark substrate; warm subtropical conditions; keep dry in winter to encourage flowering.
