Pyromania Flashpoint Red Hot Poker

Pyromania® ‘Flashpoint’ is a tall, upright red hot poker with chartreuse-yellow buds that open to creamy white flowers above green, grass-like foliage. Proven Winners lists a mature height of 48–54 inches, a spread of 30–36 inches, and summer bloom ([Proven Winners](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/kniphofia/pyromania-flashpoint-red-hot-poker-kniphofia-hybrid)). ## Landscape Use Its vertical flower spikes add height in sunny borders and make useful cut flowers. Proven Winners describes this easy-care perennial as attractive to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds and resistant to deer and rabbits. The full, upright clump works as a focal point or in repeated groups where its height can stand above lower plants. ## Growing Conditions Choose full sun and well-drained soil. The listed hardiness range is USDA zones 5b–9a. This selection tolerates drought and salt once established, and the developer lists average water needs, with average, fertile, or poor soil and acidic to neutral pH. Chartreuse-yellow buds contrast with the creamy white open flowers. ## Maintenance Water regularly during establishment and provide a good supply while flowering. Maintain free drainage and avoid leaving the roots in saturated soil. In colder parts of its listed range, mulch the crown for winter protection and trim old leaves in spring.
