Kniphofia uvaria

TORCH LILY


Asphodelaceae family S South Africa

This South African species is known for its vibrant display. In spring or early summer, it produces an inflorescence that is conical in shape and fades red to orange from the top down. It has been introduced throughout the world and has become naturalized in many places where mostly it is not considered a weed. However, in places such as Southern Australia it is considered a noxious weed.
