Rhodohypoxis milloides, commonly known as Pink Star or Red Star, is a deciduous perennial herb, native to alpine grasslands and mountain slopes in the Drakensberg mountains of South Africa. It typically forms dense clumps reaching a height and width of approximately 0.5 feet (0.2 meters). This plant is characterized by its grass-like leaves and showy star-shaped flowers that bloom in various shades of pink, red, and white during the summer months, adding a splash of color to rock gardens and borders.

Pink Star is valued for its compact size, vibrant flowers, and ease of maintenance. It is often used in rock gardens, alpine troughs, and as a ground cover. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, acidic soil with consistent moisture during the growing season. After flowering, the foliage dies back, and the plant enters dormancy. It is relatively pest-free but can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered or planted in poorly drained soils. It is not known to be invasive when grown outside its native range.CC BY-SA 4.0
