Kniphofia – Rocket’s Red Glare Red Hot Poker
SKU: n/a.As dramatic as the song it was named after, Rocket’s Red Glare Red Hot Poker, Kniphofia, brings huge blossoms with red hot buds that open to deep peach blossoms. These magnificent blooms top tall 3′ stems for a long time in summer. Its attractive mounds of slender, arching leaf blades bring considerable interest to the garden and large containers.
Rocket’s Red Glare Red Hot Poker can be used as a dramatic centerpiece in the garden, a magnificent container specimen, or a striking hedge. It stands out in perennial, pollinator, cutting, and cottage gardens. Hummingbirds and butterflies adore its huge blossoms.
This tough plant is easy to grow and is not fussy about soil, even growing in poor soil. Rocket’s Red Glare Red Hot Poker tolerates heat and drought and is distasteful to deer and rabbits. It makes an excellent cut flower.
Plant in full sun. Although drought tolerant, keep well-watered when the plant is setting up buds and blooming. The plant benefits from good soakings during dry spells.
