Kniphofia, commonly named red hot poker or torch lily, is a robust evergreen perennial flower with reliable germination rate. It grows best under full sunshine and loose, well-drained soil, featuring outstanding heat resistance and drought tolerance after root establishment.
It produces tall upright flower spikes packed with tubular flame-colored blossoms in red, orange and yellow gradient tones, presenting a striking vertical landscape effect from summer to autumn. The clumping evergreen leaves also maintain good ornamental value in non-flowering seasons.
This variety rarely suffers from pests and fungal diseases, requiring only basic watering in long dry spells. Avoid excessive watering to prevent root rot. Ideal for perennial border backdrop, pond edge greening, wildflower meadow matching and oversized balcony container ornamental planting.
