The longest in flower of all the winter pokers filling the gap between the late autumn flowering K. ensifolia and the late winter flowering K. ‘Winter Cheer’. Handsome clumps of swirling blue green leaves are a lovely foil for K. sarmentosa’s glowing coral-scarlet pokers. This Kniphofia is particularly drought tolerant getting by with no watering at all. To keep it tidy we cut the foliage down to 20cm after flowering.
