Gloriosa superba 'Rothschildiana,' also known as the flame lily or glory lily, is a tropical climbing vine with exotic, red and yellow flowers, native to Africa and Asia, and is a deciduous perennial that thrives in zones 8-12.
The name means "full of glory", appropriate for such showy exotics. These tender perennials form sizeable clumps and will grow 4 to 6 feet in a season. Vines are light weight, so do not require stout supports. Easy to grow and excellent for summer decks, and inside in sunrooms and greenhouses where there is sufficient room for vining plants. In cooler zones than 8b, lift in fall and store indoors or grow as houseplant, height: 4-6 feet,vining, color: flashy yellow and ruby flowers with wavy, swept-back petals.
