Kniphofia Blaze - Red Hot Poker
Kniphofia Blaze blooms almost continuously unless frost burns off the flowers. After a wintry rest new stalks appear bearing orange fading to yellow flowers in Early Spring. Kniphofia Blaze has rich green grasslike foliage that grows up to 3 feet tall. Ours have withstood Winter temperatures in the low teens, and should be able to take temperatures down to 0° F, though flowers and foliage will be damaged if temps drop much below the upper 20's. Kniphofia Blaze has flower stalks to nearly 4 feet. The hummingbirds battle for the rights to these flowers, this is a great addition to the Hummingbird Garden. No doubt this Allen's Hummingbird feels that he has ownership rights of these Kniphofia Blaze flower stalks.
