Plant Features
Flamenco Kniphofia Plants dazzle with a mixture of yellow, orange and fiery red flowers. The flower spikes rise 36-48 inches above the clump-forming sword like grass. They make a fiery addition to landscape or container gardens. Red hot poker, or torch lily plants grow best in full sun to part shad locations with fertile, well-drained soil. The roots require a lot of water during the blooming season to keep the new buds coming. Kniphofia plants are an excellent source of nectar for butterflies and hummingbirds. They are seldom browsed by rabbits or deer.
