The torch-like flowers explain its common names: torch lily or red hot poker. This variety is loved for its warm colour blend, typically ranging from orange to red with yellow accents, and its bold, architectural look in the border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sturdy flower stems reach around one metre tall. In the first year, a plant often produces one flower spike, but it becomes wider and more floriferous each season, forming a strong clump with multiple flowering stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rocket-like flower spikes make excellent cut flowers, and the many nectar-rich florets are highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow, where and when do I plant Kniphofia roots in the ground?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKniphofia rhizomes are winter hardy and can be planted from early spring onwards. Plant them so that the green growth point sits just above the soil surface. For the best effect, plant in groups of 3, or in larger drifts of up to 15 plants.\u003cbr\u003eThe preferred position is full sun or light partial shade. Choose a nutrient-rich, well-drained soil (ideally sandy or loamy) and avoid wet feet, especially in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare of the Kniphofia\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRemove spent flower stems by cutting them off low at the base, and leave the foliage in place.
