Kniphofia bulbs (Red Hot Poker)

About

The Kniphofia , often called Torch Lily or Red Hot Poker , comes in many sizes and growth habits and isn’t necessarily red. However, its resilience makes it an easy-going garden subject and not one that will be in just anybody’s garden. Different Kniphofia varieties flower at different times of the year, but in the UK, the summer-flowering ones are especially popular as their late blooms see out the summer in a last blaze of glory. Easily confused with Aloes , Kniphofias are nonetheless a distinctive garden choice that’s just returning to the limelight after several decades of undeserved obscurity!
