Another Kniphofia from the Alpine Garden (see Kniphofia nelsonii for a link to more on the genus), Kniphofia triangularis delights with its prominent display of vibrant colour year after year. Like all Kniphofia species, it is native to Africa. The centre of diversity for the genus (i.e., where most species occur) is in the Drakensberg Mountains.
