It occurs from Ceres and Worcester in the west, to Bredasdorp in the south, Ladismith, Oudtshoorn and Prince Albert in the north, and eastwards as far as Port Elizabeth and Somerset East. (A variety, W. loddigesii var. montana, is sometimes recognised for the more gracile, pale-flowered plants occurring in the Swartberg mountains, at the top of the Swartberg Pass.)
