Consider a clivia plant! Now is the time to pick them out in the nursery to be sure you get the color bloom you are looking for.
They come in all shades of orange from deep reddish to almost apricot and yellows that go from intense and bright to soft and pastel. Flowers can have variegation on the blooms themselves. The foliage is typically dark green, although there are some rare variegated ones and it looks good year round.
With good drainage these plants are drought tolerant once established, however they do need shelter from the sun because the foliage may sunburn in direct sunlight.
They make good container plants and are often grown as houseplants in harsher climates, but we are lucky that we can grow them right outside in our gardens quite easily.
