Botanical Name: Gloriosa rothschildiana
Description: The Gloriosa Lily, often called “climbing lily,” is a semi-climber that grows to a height of 4 feet, using tendrils on the ends of its leaves to grab other plants or trellis netting for support.  Carsoniii is a long-popular hybrid with large blossoms of rose red bordered in bright yellow.  They are very exotic looking flowers—long, thin, elaborately ruffled, and curved inward.  Carsonii is quite tender and needs to be lifted for winter in many zones.  It can also be grown as a houseplant and is very spectacular when in flower.
