Gloriosa Lily: A Stunning but Tender Climber

The plant is a gloriosa lily (Gloriosa superba), a spectacular climbing vine with reflexed, flame-colored petals. While it's a showstopper in summer, it's not winter-hardy in most of Georgia. The best strategy is to grow it in a container and overwinter the tubers in a cool, dry basement or garage. Provide a trellis for support, full sun to light shade, and consistent moisture during active growth. The tubers can be replanted each spring for another season of exotic blooms.
