Description
This unique plant is a native of Africa and is one of the more interesting plants in my garden. It goes by several names, Red Hot Poker, Poker Plant, Torch Lily, Tetoma, Kniphofia and Knofflers.I prefer to call it by the first of those names. It amuses me.
How it got all those names I have no idea. I actually know very little about this plant except that it is very hardy no matter the weather conditions and that I see it more and more in the nurseries in the springtime. Probably because of it's hardiness.
The very cool and colorful spike-like flowers grow from a messy, grassy foliage and if you are diligent and cut back the spent flowers it will continue to bloom and add an amusing colorful backdrop all summer long till first frost. Just be sure to plant it behind a smaller plant to hide the messy foliage.
