Haemanthus Multiflorus Subsp. Katharinae

Katharina's hemerocallis, scientifically known as Haemanthus multiflorus subsp. katharinae, is a rare and striking plant native to the mountainous regions of South Africa. This unique subspecies is characterized by its vibrant orange-red flowers and compact, evergreen foliage. It thrives in cool, moist environments and is often found in rocky outcrops and shaded forested areas. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, it is considered a vulnerable species. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect this beautiful and ecologically important plant from further decline.
