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.

Looks decent, doesn’t cook me in summer
Size: Medium, Color: Grey White Stripe
Bought this mainly as another golf shirt and wasn’t expecting much. Material is lightweight and comfortable enough during warmer days. Fit was pretty close to expected sizing. Sometimes inexpensive golf shirts end up feeling stiff or cheap after washing. This one has held up fine so far. Good everyday option.

Most Comfortable Hoodie I’ve Ever Worn…
Color: White Light Blue Grid, Size: Medium, Color: White Light Blue Grid, Size: Medium
Arguably, this is one of the most comfortable hoodies I’ve ever worn—and that’s saying something. The fit, feel, and overall look just come together in a way that makes this an easy go-to. I’ve become a big fan of M MAELREG, and this hoodie continues that trend. Their focus on clean, sharp styling really shows here. It has a modern, athletic look without trying too hard, and it works just as well for casual wear as it does for something a bit more put together. My wife immediately noticed it—and that’s always a good sign. The standout feature is the fabric. It’s lightweight but not flimsy, with just the right amount of structure. The stretch is excellent, and it moves naturally without feeling restrictive. It also does a great job managing heat, which is a big deal here in Arizona. Whether I’m out running errands, heading to a showing, or just wearing it around the house, it stays comfortable and breathable. Another thing I appreciate is how versatile it is. This isn’t just a “gym hoodie” or something you only wear lounging—it genuinely fits in almost anywhere. It has that polished, performance look that makes it easy to dress up or down depending on the situation. At roughly $40, this feels like a strong value. You’re getting a well-designed, comfortable piece that looks good and performs even better. Final thoughts…. ✔️ Extremely comfortable with a lightweight, performance feel.
 ✔️ Clean, modern design that looks sharp in multiple settings.
 ✔️ Breathable and well-suited for warmer climates like Arizona.
 ✔️ Great stretch and mobility without feeling too thin.
 ✔️ Strong value for the price point.
 ⭐️1 star — I don't endorse this at all, poor quality. ⭐️⭐️ 2 stars — I don't endorse it: has multiple faults, or significantly overpriced. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 stars — It's passable: it has some faults, some compromises, but the quality is acceptable for what it is. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 stars — Product quite acceptable, and it does what it promises. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars — Product that I totally endorse. Blown away. Drop everything and buy it!

M MAELREG Men’s Golf Hoodie – Lightweight Performance Pullover
Color: Grey Green, Size: Medium
This hoodie is a solid option if you’re looking for something lightweight and comfortable, especially for active wear like golf or casual outings. The material feels breathable and smooth, which makes it great for warmer weather or layering without feeling heavy. One of the best things about this hoodie is how lightweight it is. It doesn’t weigh you down, and the dry-fit performance fabric helps keep you cool and comfortable throughout the day. It’s definitely more of a performance midlayer than a traditional thick hoodie, so don’t expect it to keep you warm in colder temperatures. The fit is clean and athletic. If you typically wear a medium, it should fit true to size with a slightly fitted look—not too tight, but not baggy either. It works well for both casual wear and more active settings. The texture gives it a slightly elevated look compared to basic hoodies, so you can dress it up a bit with jeans or wear it with athletic gear without it looking too plain. Overall, this is a great lightweight hoodie for everyday use, workouts, or outdoor activities like golf. Just keep in mind it’s not designed for warmth—it’s more about comfort and performance.
