Product Description

Kniphofia ‘Red Roulette’ PPAF (25) Bare Root PlantsCommon Name: Red Hot Poker

Deep red-orange buds open to creamy yellow flowers. Thin grass-like foliage is exceptionally narrow for Kniphofia and will add fine texture to almost any landscape. More than 1′ taller than ‘Rocket’s Red Glare’. Tested for hardiness in our Michigan zone 6, heavy snowfall winters, and could be hardier with winter mulch and protection.

Commonly called Red Hot Poker or Torch Lily for their tall flower spikes. These South Africa natives offer tremendous garden value by combining grass-like foliage with tall flower scapes. An excellent perennial for the middle of the border.

Kniphofia is a sun lover that likes it hot and dry, though a good supply of water is appreciated when blooming. It can be grown in any well-drained soil.

Kniphofia is evergreen in mild regions and herbaceous in cooler zones. In both areas, it will benefit by having its leaf tips trimmed in the spring to stimulate healthy, new growth. In zones 4-6, the foliage can be tied up over the crown of the plant in the fall to exclude water from settling there and freezing, which would be deadly.
