Gloriosa Lily: AKA Climbing flame lily, Fire lily, or Glory lily.

The Gloriosa lily has many names, but no matter what you what you call it, it truly is a glory to behold. This summer bloomer in hot southern climates captures one's attention with its fiery red and yellow color. This bloom and vine add texture to your garden that offers a nice contrast to other summer-growing plants. Often, we achieve this juxtaposition with form and color, and this bloom explodes with red, yellow, and even glossy dark green colors on unique vines. The fact that there are multiple blooms in varying stages for weeks makes every day an adventure.

Origin and Names: The Gloriosa lily isn't a lily at all. It isn't even from the lily family. It belongs to the Colchicaceae family. You may have heard this called: gloriosa lily, glory lily, fire lily, flame lily, climbing lily, creeping lily, cat’s claw or tiger’s claw. The Gloriosa lily comes in several colors, but the variety that we are carry is the Gloriosa rothschildiana. The name was given because the second baron Rothschild is credited with bringing this beauty to Europe from Africa.

Is it a tuber or a rhizome? Some call it rhizomatous tubers while others call it tuberous rhizomes. We will call it beautiful!

Care and Planting: Plant the tubers on their sides in well-drained soil about 2-4 inches deep. If you plant them on the deeper end, then the vines will be shorter. These tubers like to be moist but not wet. Because this is a vine, be sure to provide a trellis or fence. It will grow to 6 - 8 feet tall. Plant the tubers several inches away from the trellis so they have room to mature and multiply. Plant each tuber about 4-8 inches apart. Water the newly planted tubers daily until you see growth. Then you can reduce the watering to every couple of days. They like to receive the equivalent of about 1 inch a week.

Sunlight: Place the tubers where they will receive at least 6-8 hours of summer sun. Because they are a topical plant, they need the sun. If you are planting them in zone 8, they will work great in full sun to a little shade; however, due to the extreme temperatures in zones 9 and 10, they work best if given a break from direct sunlight late in the afternoon.

IN POTS: This beauty does great being placed in pots. Pots would allow someone in a colder zone to grow this summer-blooming beauty that could then be moved into a protected area during the winter. If you plant them in pots, you will need to water more frequently, but make sure that the pot has excellent drainage. The pots can be used indoors though not ideal for this sun-loving vine; however, you will need to make allowances for wintering your plant. Encourage its dormancy by watering it less often after it is done blooming in the late fall. Then in early spring simply start watering it and give it plenty of sunlight. By planting in pots, you are also able to "contain" the plant and place it where you want it each season. You may want to try a trellis on a porch one season, a fenceline another, or even place one near your mailbox for a splash of color. The tubers multiply so be sure to check your pots at the end of the season to see if you need to replant some into other pots.

Blooming: In the heat of July through fall, this bloom opens wide to show all her colorful glory. The blooms extend over a period of about four (4) weeks. The bloom hangs "upside down" and then begins the process of opening its six 2-3 inch long red and yellow tepals until they are completely reflexed (bending backwards until pointing upwards). Below the tepals are green stamen which add an even more unique look and color to this bloom. Some of the tepals are deep red and yellow while others on the same vine look almost pink. The colors often deepen the older the bloom becomes. That is why no two blooms are exactly the same. To encourage blooms and growth, you can add a light fertilizer to the plant monthly. The most common reason for not having successful blooms on the Gloriosa lily is from lack of sun. Too much fertilizer can encourage the plant to grow more foliage instead of blooms.

Vines: The Gloriosa lily is the only tuber/bulb that we carry that becomes a vine. We planted it in pots and in the ground against the fence. They aren't covering the fence, but they have added some beautiful greenery and pops of color to an otherwise ordinary line of sight. After the vine reaches several feet tall, it then begins to move horizontally as it produces the blooms which gives you multiple blooms up and down the fence line.

Cut Flowers: This tuber is super easy to grow and provides you with beautiful cut flowers. We cut a "grouping" (1 stem with 4 blooms) several days ago, and they look AMAZING in a vase! Can you imagine them with a whole vase full of other flowers and these peeking out here and there? Or even a vase full of nothing but these?

After Blooming/ Winter: As with most perennial bulbs, do NOT cut down the foliage as long as it is green. The foliage is sending nutrients to the bulb for future blooms. When the foliage dies back and is completely yellow, you can cut it off for the winter. In zone 8 and parts of 9, you may want to consider mulching over the tubers for the winter especially if they are away from your house as they won't curvive a hard freeze.

Other Interesting Facts:

All parts of this plant are toxic if ingested in large quantities, but especially the tubers. Small amounts though have been used in traditional medicine.

The flowers are deer and rabbit resistant.

However, it attracts pollinators like butterflies. This is all likely due to the vibrant colors of the bloom.

Game changer
I use this cleanser with the other cleanser they have, the green one. It’s actually crazy how much it changed my skin routine. I didn’t change my products and only my cleansers and there was a huge improvement. Using them both together feels very nice, there is literally a slight glow on my face after i’m done washing it. The cleanser itself is an oil and helps get my makeup off well. My face is usually oily but my t-zone can be a bit dry, these combined helped my face go back to a “normal” balance. So happy with my purchase, definitely recommend.

Removes Makeup Well
Removes makeup well, and doesn't leave the skin too oily. Didn't cause me breakouts. Just clean skin. However, if you have sensitive eyes and skin, avoid the eye area. I had burning and discomfort around the eyes

One of the Best Cleansing Oils I’ve Used — Gentle, Effective, and Never Greasy
I’m 52 and post-menopausal, with dry, increasingly sensitive skin, and I’ve used a lot of cleansing oils over the years—especially from Korean brands. Some are too heavy, some don’t rinse cleanly, and some leave a film that makes me want to wash my face again immediately. This Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil is one of the few that gets everything right. The texture is beautiful. It’s lightweight and fluid, not thick or overly oily, so it spreads easily across the skin without feeling heavy. It has enough slip to break down makeup and sunscreen quickly, but it doesn’t feel like it’s sitting on top of the skin. What really stands out is how well it emulsifies and rinses clean. As soon as you add water, it turns into a soft, milky consistency and washes away completely. There’s no greasy residue left behind, and my skin feels clean and balanced—not coated or stripped. It removes everything easily, including sunscreen and makeup, without needing to rub or tug at the skin. That’s especially important for me because I’m careful about how much friction I use on my face now. Even though it’s marketed for pore control, it doesn’t feel harsh or drying at all. The heartleaf gives it that calming, skin-friendly feel, and my skin always feels comfortable after using it. No tightness, no irritation—just clean, soft skin. I also like that it works beautifully as part of a double cleanse. It does the heavy lifting in the first step, and then I can follow with a gentle cleanser without feeling like I’m over-cleansing. Another thing worth mentioning is the value. The bottle is a good size, and you only need one or two pumps per use, so it lasts. For the performance you get, it feels like a very solid purchase. Overall, this is an exceptionally well-balanced cleansing oil—effective enough to remove everything, but gentle enough for dry, mature skin. It leaves the skin clean, calm, and comfortable, which is exactly what I want from a first cleanse. This is one of those products that quietly earns a permanent place in the routine because it just works.

Love and Beware
This is a fabulous product but be aware that if you wash you face vigorously and splash ANY oil on your walls it will stain. I love it but hate the spots that I sometimes get. I have tried a little diluted dish soap but it doesn’t really help.

Whoa- I can’t believe this!
I wanted to try this product for a very specific purpose, I have been looking at facial cleansing wipes to use occasionally at bedtime instead of stripping my face by doing a full wash with cleanser and water. I rarely wear makeup, I spend my energy on finding the best skincare products for my skin and sunscreen. So at bedtime usually, I’m just taking off sunscreen and the day’s grime, or if I didn’t go out, the day’s moisturizing products. I tried several brands of moist facial cleansing wipes, and they left behind a greasy film and my face still feels like it needs a full wash. I would never want to skip properly cleansing my skin, and I usually do a full routine while I shower, but it would be nice to be able to occasionally do something quicker and more convenient without sacrificing on quality. I was hoping this product might cleanse well without needing to be rinsed or breaking me out on occasions where I want something quick and convenient, or maybe am travelling and need a basic routine. Wow, this product is not only perfect for that, it actually makes my skin soft and clean, you’d never know I skipped my regular cleansing and just used this Bioderma product with a cotton pad before my nighttime moisturizers/serum. It completely takes off the day’s water resistant facial sunscreen and any sweat or grime and leaves my skin very clean, soft, not dry, and it feels like there is no residue whatsoever. I also don’t break out or get clogged pores, it is just a clean, soft texture. One cotton pad with product is all takes for my entire face to look and feel just as clean as if I had used my regular products (a cleansing balm followed by a foaming cleanser and lots of rinsing with water). I have used this micellar water quite a bit since receiving it, and have not broken out or had clogged pores from “cutting corners” so to speak. And it cleanses very well. I can’t believe how well it cleanses without needing to be rinsed, without irritating my skin, without clogging pores or causing breakouts, and is suitable to use and then put on my serum and nighttime moisturizer. I’ve even used it the next morning to remove the nighttime moisturizers and then put on my SPF. I worried that I was going to cause my skin not to look as good if I didn’t properly wash and rinse with water but this product is so amazing. I have not yet used it to see how well it removes makeup since I rarely wear any, but just for skincare and cleansing without a full wash with regular water, it is so amazing. Not going to sugarcoat it, this is me wanting a convenient routine when I travel but this is also me being lazy on nights when I’m very tired or mornings when I am in a hurry. I consider this one of my few holy grail skincare products. I have picked up a smaller size for travel. I will keep this on hand always. I’m not even looking at moist wipes anymore. (This product is more gentle and leaves no residue as compared to a dermatologist recommended brand of face wipes). I’m most surprised that it cleans my face so thoroughly and that not rinsing does not cause any irritation or breakouts. Just wow. Totally worth the price. I was going to try other brands but this product has been so good there is no need to.
