Gloriosa carsonii is a vining herbaceous perennial in the Colchicaceae family. Some familiar names include fire lily, flame lily, glory lily, gloriosa lily, climbing lily, and creeping lily. It is native to tropical areas in southern Africa and Asia and has been naturalized in Australia. There is 12 genus in the family. It grows to around 3-6 feet tall and will travel by tubers out to 10 feet. The leave tips turn into tendrils making this one unique and vine-like. These will do well if they are protected from the wind but like plenty of water. The flowers are mahogany-purple. It prefers to grow in part shade in most soils. It can be a container plant but will need something to grow up. Zones 9-11 Germination Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours to remove the outer skin. Sow in moist peat 1/2" deep and lightly cover.
