Kniphofia Nancy's Red (Red Hot Poker)
Kniphofia 'NANCY'S RED'
Kinphofia Nancy's Red, is a brilliant bright red shorter growing summer blooming cultivar. The electric red blooms are carried above the thin foliage making for an ideal clumping plant, tough and hardy.

Best grown in the full sun to part shade, Kniphofia are supplied as field grown divisions. The plants are large enough to bloom, but as they have been separated for winter sales, it is unlikely they will bloom until next season.
Re-plant as soon as possible, leaving the foliage out of the ground and fully covering the hard root system. Water in, fertilize with pretty much whatever you have and away you go. Once established they will survive (even thrive) off whatever natural rainfall you receive.
Happy Gardening!
