If you are looking for plants to brighten up a shady area, - Clivias are a great choice.
These lovely flowers are so easy to grow and will multiply over time.
They like good light - not too much sun and do best in a semi shade area that gets a bit of morning sunshine.
There are a few varieties including a beautiful yellow one.
The soil should be nice and fertile with plenty of organic material in it.
Do not give chemical fertilizers - just good compost and a good mulch.
The plants can be divided after flowering has finished or from seeds which appear as bright red pods.
Water well and always keep mulched.
