‘High Roller’ Red Hot Poker
bare-root plants
Kniphofia uvaria24" tall.
As the climate continues to warm, northern gardeners are making the best of it and daring to dream of fields of red hot poker in their own backyards. A bicolor tropical-looking riot of fiery red-orange fading to coral and soft white tubular inflorescences, from top to bottom, along the spectacular 8" spikes. Breathtaking and playful. Blooms July to September and makes an unusual accent in cutflower arrangements.
Clump-forming narrow-bladed foliage. Plant 18–24" apart in full sun in warm well-drained soil. For overwintering, mulch to protect the crowns from moisture and heaving. Native to South Africa. Z5/6. NEW!

Additional Information
Herbaceous Perennial Plants
When you receive your order, open the bags and check the stock immediately. Roots and crowns should be firm and pliable. Surface mold is harmless and will not affect the plant’s future performance. Store plants in their packaging in a cool (35–40°) location until you are ready to plant. If it’s going to be awhile, you can pot up your perennials.
Do not plant bare-root perennial plant crowns directly outdoors before danger of frost has passed. Wet and/or cold conditions for an extended period may cause rotting.
