Gloriosa (Flame Lilies)
5 products
Gloriosa’s striking, reflexed blooms (July – September) attract specialized pollinators like carpenter bees (Xylocopa spp.) and day-flying moths, drawn to their vibrant colours and nectar-rich bases. Though tropical, their climbing habit creates vertical microhabitats for spiders and lacewings when grown in sheltered UK gardens or conservatories. For ecological impact, pair with nectar-rich climbers like Lonicera (honeysuckle) to extend pollinator value. While frost-sensitive, container-grown Gloriosa adds exotic flair to urban wildlife gardens, offering a rare nectar source for heat-loving insects during peak summer.
