Kniphofia 'Fire Glow' | Fire Glow Red Hot Poker
DESCRIPTION
Kniphofia 'Fire Glow' is a perennial plant known for its tall, flower spikes that feature tubular flowers of yellow, transitioning to deep orange. Blooming from early to late summer, the flowers gradually shift in color, creating a fiery gradient that adds warmth to the garden. The plant's dense clusters of flowers rise above its sword-like, arching leaves, creating an eye-catching vertical element that works well in borders, cottage gardens, and as a focal point in containers.
Originating from South Africa, Kniphofia 'Fire Glow' thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun to partial shade. Once established, it is drought-tolerant, making it a good choice for low-maintenance gardens or xeriscaping. The plant also attracts hummingbirds and pollinators, adding both visual and ecological value to the garden.
