Red Hot Poker (Kniphofia)

Kniphofia is a genus of striking, clump-forming perennials known for their upright growth habit and architectural presence. They feature dense rosettes of arching, grass-like or strap-shaped foliage that remains semi-evergreen in milder climates. Towering above the leaves are sturdy stems topped with vibrant, torch-like flower spikes in shades of red, orange, and yellow. Ideal for sunny borders and coastal gardens, they thrive in fertile, well-drained soil and attract various pollinators.
