Kniphofia Rooperi 

Red Hot Poker

10 fresh seeds

Kniphofia rooperi originates from the East Cape of South Africa and provides a superb patch of brilliant colour, when many of the other hot coloured subjects are beginning to fade. They are at their best during late summer and on through September and October and even early November, or until struck down by a particularly hard frost. This is a clump forming plant with broad, sword-shaped, evergreen foliage, arranged in arching rosettes. The flowers, are orange-red becoming orange-yellow and egg-shaped, reaching 4-5ft. These are borne well above the foliage and are attractive to bees. Fully hardy in the UK, prefers full sun and well drained soil. Easy to germinate from seed in a greenhouse or cold frame, or on a cool windowsill.
