Exotic elegance that transforms your space
Gloriosa superba ‘Carsonii’, also known as the climbing glory lily, is one of the most striking and dramatic ornamental plants you can grow in your garden or on your balcony. It's a climber with a strongly exotic character that instantly catches the eye and turns the space around it into something truly special.
Its flowers are truly unique. The strong contrast between deep purple-red and golden-yellow edges creates a luxurious, dramatic effect, reminiscent of flames or botanical jewels. In bloom, Gloriosa ‘Carsonii’ never goes unnoticed – it becomes the centrepiece of the space, adding energy, movement and an air of exotic elegance rarely found in other plants.
It grows from tubers and forms slender, flexible stems that climb gracefully over pergolas, supports or trellises. It can reach up to 1.5 metres tall, creating vertical surfaces full of life and colour. It's ideal for bright balconies, courtyards, greenhouses or even indoor spaces with plenty of natural light, where it adds a touch of botanical exoticism.
A plant with a history…
The story of Gloriosa is as fascinating as its looks. It comes from tropical regions of Africa and Asia and has been regarded as a plant of special value for centuries. In many cultures it has been linked with glory, strength and regal presence, while its striking form has made it a favourite of botanical gardens and rare-plant collectors worldwide. It's no coincidence that it has been declared a national flower in some places (such as Zimbabwe), as a symbol of beauty and pride.
Despite its exotic looks, Gloriosa superba ‘Carsonii’ isn't overly demanding. It prefers a sunny or partly shaded spot, light, well-drained soil and regular but careful watering. With basic care it rewards you with abundant flowers and a striking presence. In winter the tubers can be stored and replanted in spring, giving the same spectacular result every year. Please note: all parts of the plant, especially the tubers and seeds, are highly toxic if swallowed – keep away from children and pets.
Gloriosa ‘Carsonii’ isn't just a plant – it's an aesthetic statement. It's for anyone who loves the special, the rare and the ornamental plant that breaks away from the ordinary and turns a space into an experience.
