Reblooming Orange Torch Lily

Echo Mango is a named red-hot-poker selection with upright stems carrying mango-colored flowers and a repeat-blooming habit. ItSaul lists early-spring flowering with summer rebloom, 48-inch stems, a 36-inch spread, and USDA zones 5–8; the patent describes about 36 inches tall by 24 inches wide and zones 6–9, so mature size and hardiness reports differ. ## Form and bloom The [ItSaul plant page](https://www.itsaulplants.com/plantname/Kniphofia-Echo-Mango) describes sturdy stems and mango-colored blooms. The [USPP21706P2 patent](https://patents.google.com/patent/USPP21706P2/en) identifies the cultivar as ‘Echo Mango’ and records apricot flowers, upright stems, semi-evergreen foliage, and repeat flowering after the early flush. Published dimensions span roughly 3–4 ft tall and 2–3 ft wide; the published USDA reports span zones 5–9. ## Garden use Plant in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Kniphofias flower best in sun and are vulnerable to winter-wet soil, according to the [RHS growing guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/kniphofia/growing-guide). Give the clump room for its arching leaves and upright flower stems; smaller forms can suit a large container. ## Maintenance Remove faded flower stalks to keep the clump tidy, and divide established clumps in spring when they become crowded. Keep the crown in soil that drains freely through winter.
