Gloriosa lily

You can't help but be wow-ed by gloriosa lily's fantastical flowers. This climbing vine offers spidery flowers that look a bit like fireballs because the petals curve back and appear in glowing shades of red and yellow.

While gloriosa lily is a tender bulb, gardeners in cold-winter climates can grow it by bringing the tubers to a frost-free place for winter.
