Naming

It is sometimes known in cultivation as "Kaffir lily". However, this name is also confusingly applied to the genus ''Schizostylis'', and in any case is best avoided as it is considered an offensive ethnic slur in South Africa.

Uses

With a minimum temperature of 10 °C , in temperate regions ''C. miniata'' is normally cultivated as a houseplant. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit, along with the variety ''C. miniata'' var. ''citrina''.
