Cyrtanthus elatus, also known as the Scarborough lily, is a bulbous flowering plant native to the Cape Province of South Africa. It is also commonly referred to as the fire lily or George lily. The plant produces vibrant flowers in shades of red, orange, yellow, pink, or white and can grow up to 2 feet tall. It is relatively easy to grow in warm, sheltered areas or in pots under glass. The plant requires full sun or slight shade and blooms in late summer or early autumn. Its Latin name, elatus, means "tall" and it has been awarded the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

Germination/Propagation Top

Suggest a correction or add new data!
Sow seeds immediately as their viability decreases rapidly, or they best germinate when fresh. If stored, seeds might need temperature cycling and patience to germinate.
float the seeds until they sprout, then carefully plant just underneath the medium surface
