#ProPlantTips For Care
Plant in full sun for the best bloom color and longevity of your perennial. Hardy in USDA growing zones 5 through 9, Red Hot Pokers are cold and heat tolerant!
These thrive very well-drained soils with moderate fertility. Be sure to plant in a location where there is no standing water or soggy soil, Kniphofia requires good drainage!
Enjoying moderate moisture and watering during summer and in times of drought, always give young plants continuous moisture to become established.
Remove spent blooms throughout the summer to keep the flowers returning until autumn, and prune in late autumn for a clean winter appearance. Occasionally semi-evergreen in warmer growing zones. Otherwise, these are low-care plants! Deer resistant so you won’t have to worry about any visitors other than your local pollinators and birds.
