Tritonia disticha subsp. rubrolucens, commonly known as Pink Montbretia, is a deciduous perennial herb that is native to the grasslands and open areas of Southern Africa. It typically grows to a height of 2-3 feet (0.6-0.9 meters) and a width of about 0.4 feet (0.1 meters). The plant features sword-shaped leaves and produces spikes of showy, tubular pink flowers that bloom in the summer and fall, adding a splash of color to the garden landscape.

Pink Montbretia is valued for its vibrant flowers and ability to attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. It is often used in borders, container gardens, and as cut flowers due to its long vase life. This plant prefers full sun exposure and thrives in well-drained soils, tolerating a range of soil types from sandy to loamy. While it requires medium to high amounts of water, it is relatively drought-tolerant once established. Gardeners should be aware that in some regions, Tritonia can become invasive, so it is important to manage its spread to prevent it from overtaking other plantings.CC BY-SA 4.0
