MULTIPETAL CLIVIA
Pine Mountain Nursery specialises in multipetal clivia. Clivia normally have 6 tepals ("petals") but multipetal clivia have more than 6. Often multipetal clivia are unstable, meaning that the umbel may contain a range of flower types from 6, 7, 8, 10, and 12 tepals. Clivia that have a relatively uniform number of tepals such as 8 or 12 are more valuable as it takes a number of generations to achieve that level of stability/uniformity. To be considered a multipetal I need them to have at least 3 multipetal flowers to work on for developing better multipetals. Pine Mountain Nursery is also developing clivia with double flowers that contain many more petals than multipetal clivia through our breeding efforts with supermultipetal clivia. Set out below are either near flowering size or flowering size multipetal clivia. They are one offs, that is, there is only one of each plant available. All the hard work and risk in growing them has been done. If interested in any of these plants please email us with your requirements and an invoice will be made up. The price listed includes GST ex nursery. They can be picked up in pots or posted bare root.

Double Multipetals
These are a new creation that have taken many years to grow up to flowering. They are created from a cross between (keeled petals x Nakamura Super Multipetal) and Chubby Cheeks. From our limited experience, about 40% may flower double multipetal; 40% multipetal and 20% normal six petal or with a few multipetal flowers. In the first year of flowering a number appear to flower lower in the foliage with messy flower structure but flower structure may improve in subsequent flowering.
Picture to the right is for illustrative purposes.
DM 01 - Price $40.00 (Limit of 2 per order)
In September 2026 only, we have available a small number of non flowering two year old double multipetal flowering cross seedlings (keeled petals x Nakamura Super Multipetal) and Chubby Cheeks. As seed grown crosses they are like children and can end up all different as covered in the introduction above - multipetal doubles, multipetal or single petal or a combination.
DM 02 - Price $150.00 SOLD
DM02 is a multipetal cross of (Keeled petals x Nakamura Super Multipetal) x Chubby Cheeks. Whilst it does not exhibit any double multipetal traits it nonetheless has large multipetal flowers. Self pollinating this plant may produce some siblings with double Multipetal traits or crossing it with another double multipetal may increase the percentage of double Multipetal flowering siblings.
DM 03 - Price $100.00 SOLD
This multipetal cross of (Keeled petals x Nakamura Super Multipetal) x Chubby Cheeks did not produce a double multipetal flowering clivia. However, the multipetal flowers appear to be stable and could be used as part of a breeding program to produce double multipetal flowers. Self pollinating this plant may produce some interesting siblings.
DM 04 - Price $50.00 SOLD
This cross of (Keeled petals x Nakamura Super Multipetal) x Chubby Cheeks did not create a desired outcome but may nevertheless produce something nice by selfing if selfed.
Double Multipetal 01 - SOLD
This double multi-petal has broad compact foliage and beautiful well shaped double multi-petal flowers.
