KNIPHOFIA (Red Hot Poker) Zone 6

Bottle-brush shaped flowers, over sword shaped leaves. Excellent for attracting hummingbirds and butterflies

Also known as Red-hot-Poker, these are easy to grow in the garden so long as the soil is well-drained, particularly in winter. Plants form a big clump of grassy leaves that remain evergreen in milder regions. This mixture produces large bottlebrush heads in a range of shades, including yellow, orange and flame red. Stems are wonderful for cutting. Drought tolerant, once established. Clumps may be divided every 3 to 4 years, in the spring. Attractive to hummingbirds.

Flamenco Mix 30” bloom spikes of creamy white, yellow , orange, red or shades of all 4 colours. Assorted Green August-Sept. 12”(30”) high 16” spread
