Red hot pokers are instantly recognisable. Their arching clumps of long, narrow foliage form a large mound, from the centre of which upright flower spikes bear the characteristic glowing red and orange flowers. Kniphofia pauciflora is a dwarf red hot poker, bearing slender pokers of bright yellow flowers throughout summer.
Grow Kniphofia pauciflora in moist but well-drained soil in full sun. Team with hot-coloured flowers, and plants such as Eyrisimum ‘Bowles’s Mauve’, which thrive in similar growing conditions.
