Kniphofia triangularis, commonly known as Orange Torch Lily, is a deciduous perennial herb native to grasslands and mountainous areas in Southern Africa. It typically grows to a height of 2 feet (0.6 meters) and a width of 1 foot (0.3 meters). The plant features upright, grass-like foliage and is known for its distinctive flower spikes, which bear tubular flowers that transition from red at the top to orange below, blooming in the summer months. These flowers are highly attractive to hummingbirds and other pollinators.

The Orange Torch Lily is valued for its striking flower spikes that add a burst of color to garden borders, rock gardens, and mixed perennial beds. It is relatively easy to maintain, drought-tolerant once established, and prefers full sun to part shade. Suitable soil for cultivation is well-drained, of medium fertility, and it can tolerate soils with medium or fast drainage. While it requires low amounts of water, consistent moisture will promote better flowering. It is not commonly associated with serious disease or pest problems, but root rot can occur in poorly drained soils. In areas where winters are cold, a layer of mulch can help protect the plant.CC BY-SA 4.0
