Clivia robusta (Swamp bush lily, Swamp clivia) is a fairly hardy, evergreen perennial plant with dark, strap-shaped leaves. Clivia robusta sends out side shoots to form quite large robust clumps that can reach up to 1.6m tall and produce buttress roots. Swamp clivia are also exceptionally long lived and have green-tipped, orange flower heads of slender tubular flowers which are borne on long stems in late autumn and winter. These are followed by orange berries that persist on the plant.
Clivia robusta thrives in swamp conditions and helps to stabilise wet banks. It is beautiful when planted around a water feature or along stream banks under trees. Its advisable to plant in well-drained, compost rich soil in shady areas and dress annually with compost. Its mostly used for medicinal and magical purposes.
