Splash Types

Splash Flowers

Splash flowers are a distinct and visually captivating form of Clivia, characterized by the presence of a secondary color brushed or suffused across the inner surface of the tepals. This gives the flower a “splashed” or hand-painted appearance, often with dramatic contrast and artistic flair.

As this type has become increasingly prominent through intentional breeding efforts, we have classified splash flowers as a distinct category within our Clivia collections. These plants not only exhibit striking aesthetics but also tend to reliably pass on the splash trait when crossed with other splash types.

Notable Splash Varieties

Andrew Gibson
A historic plant collected from the wild, Andrew Gibson features yellow petals with pink suffusion, especially on the outer surfaces. The broad, recurved tepals are sensitive to light, influencing the depth of color. This clone has also been referred to as Andrew Gibson Pink, Andrew Gibson Picotee, and Gibson Pink.

Chubb Splash
Derived from Andrew Gibson, Chubb Splash showcases a yellow base with vivid red splashes on the reverse of the petals. The bold contrast makes it a standout and a favorite among collectors.

777
An eye-catching splash cultivar originally bred by Pikkie Strumpher. Known for its striking coloration and reliable transmission of splash traits in breeding.

Fairytales
A cross between Wow and Gibson, this variety continues the legacy of its parents with whimsical splash markings and delicate coloring.

Royal Gala
Bred from Andrew Gibson × Naude's Peach, Royal Gala combines the elegance of both parents to produce a soft, peach-toned flower with subtle splash effects.
