Pyromania® ‘Hot and Cold’ kniphofia | Proven Winners
$18.99
Common Name: Red Hot Poker
This bicolor variety is one of our favorites! Tangerine orange buds open to creamy white flowers.
Members of the PYROMANIA® Collection are a rainbow of hot colors including red, orange, and yellow. The spiky flowers and upright habit gives a very unique drama to your landscape, with rebloom extending the color late into the season. Grass-like foliage provides textural contrast to bold-leaved perennials, like Hibiscus. These tropical-looking plants are hardy to either zone 5b or 6 if you provide protection.
Commonly called Red Hot Poker or Torch Lily for their tall flower spikes. These South African natives offer tremendous garden value by combining grass-like foliage with tall flower scapes. An excellent perennial for the middle of the border.
