Japanese Clivia hybrids refers to specially bred Clivia miniata varieties from Japan, known for compact growth, improved flower form (like thicker petals, more buds), and performance for the potted plant market, with breeders like Kazumi Hattori creating sought-after performers for indoor enjoyment, often featuring vibrant, unique colors and robust structure. These hybrids offer distinct qualities beyond standard types, fitting well in Japanese-style gardens or containers.Β Japanese breeders aim for smaller, more manageable plants with spectacular blooms, often with numerous buds (e.g., 14+ per umbel) and robust flowers that last longer. H 30-60cm.
