One tip that Mr Norgate gave us about red hot pokers is that they don’t enjoy rich animal manure around their crowns so be careful. Other than that they are pretty easy to grow given anything like reasonable soil and a sunny position. Kniphofia ‘Princess Beatrix’ is an old variety with tender soft peachy apricot flowers during the warmer months. Although the flower stems make about 120cm in height it is a mistake to plant them in the back of a border crowded by other plants. 120cm x 80cm.
