Chlorophytum haygarthii

A grassland Chlorophytum from the summer-rainfall uplands of Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal and Eswatini. It grows in warm, wet summers and goes through dry, frosty winters, so it suits a cool winter rest and is hardier than most of the genus.

Where it grows wild

Records cluster in the escarpment and highland grassland of eastern South Africa and Eswatini, where it grows among grasses and on rocky grassy slopes. This is based on the record pattern and genus habits, not detailed species accounts.

Few records give an elevation; climate sites lie between about 770 and 2090 m.
