Description
The Duo Gloriosa offers a spectacular combination of colours and shapes in the summer. The Gloriosa superba 'Rothschildiana', with its bright red flowers edged in yellow, and the Gloriosa lutea 'Lutea', with its bright lemon shades, express the beauty of climbing lilies. These deciduous plants bloom in the summer, bringing a tropical touch to any setting. Their lush, glossy green foliage serves as a backdrop to their exotic flowers. These climbing plants thrive in rich, well-drained soil. They are suited for outdoor cultivation in very mild climates. Elsewhere, they are planted in pots to be overwintered in a conservatory.
The duo consists of:
x 1 Gloriosa superba 'Rothschildiana': This variety stands out with its uniquely vibrant red flowers with yellow edges. Its vegetation can climb up to 2m (7ft).
x 1 Gloriosa lutea 'Lutea': This plant offers bright lemon-yellow flowers, slightly smaller than those of the 'Rothschildiana', but equally spectacular. Slightly more compact than the previous variety, it reaches a height of between 1.50m (5ft) and 1.60m (5ft).
Labelled separately.
These Gloriosa lilies are planted in the spring in rich, light, well-drained soil, most often in pots. Their stump does not tolerate freezing temperatures well, and will be destroyed below -4°C (24.8°F). They thrive in direct sunlight or partial shade. Leave about 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12in) between each tuber. It should be laid flat and covered with 5 cm (2in) of soil. The flowering will be more abundant if you curve each vine by winding it around its support.
Make your Gloriosa climb on a small structure, in a pot or in the ground. In the garden, you can surround them with ferns for their contrasting foliage, daylilies with yellow, orange or red flowers, and hostas for their large leaves, creating an exotic and lush setting.

Planting and care
The Gloriosa lily can be planted from March to May, with the bulb laid flat in a 20 cm (8in) pot, covered with 5 cm (2in) of soil, either alone or preferably in pairs. Water regularly and keep at a temperature above 12° (53.6°F). Apply fertiliser once a week, as the plant is quite demanding. You can move the pot outdoors from June onwards. Remember to bend the liana by wrapping it around its support, as this will stimulate flowering. At the end of flowering, stop watering and store the plant until the following spring.
You can also plant it directly in the ground, but only after the last frost, in a sheltered and sunny spot with moist soil. Don't forget to dig up and store the bulbs in early autumn, storing them in a crate covered with turf.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
