Climbing Lily, Flame Lily, Glory Lily, Fire Lily, Gloriosa Lily, Superb Lily, Creeping Lily, Gloriosa 'Greenii'
Incredibly beautiful, Gloriosa superba ‘Greenii’ (Gloriosa Lily) is a deciduous, tuberous, tendril climber boasting luminescent, pale creamy-green flowers with dramatically forward-reaching stamens and swept-back, ruffled petals. Borne in the upper leaf axils of long, spindly stems, the flowers bloom from late spring through fall and then turn into wacky-looking ribbed seed pods. The leaves of Gloriosa Lilies are another wonder. From the tip of each glossy green leaf sprouts a long green tendril that twirls out to grasp whatever is nearby by spinning itself around it. The stem hoists itself upward or outward, bearing its flowers like so many parachutes or butterflies.
