🌼 KNIPHOFIA ROOPERI
Red Hot Poker – Large Yellow

Bring dramatic, architectural flair to your garden with Kniphofia rooperi, a striking Red Hot Poker variety that produces bold, upright spikes of vibrant yellow-orange flowers, fading to yellow at the base. These torch-like blooms emerge in late summer to autumn, standing tall above strap-like, evergreen foliage, attracting sugarbirds, bees, and butterflies to your garden.

Perfect for mixed borders, water-wise gardens, or mass planting for a dazzling display, this hardy perennial thrives in full sun and tolerates coastal conditions. Its bold form and glowing colour make it a standout in both modern and naturalistic landscapes.

🌱 Growing Tips:
– Position: Full sun
– Soil: Well-draining, sandy or loamy soil
– Watering: Drought-tolerant once established; water moderately
– Size: Grows approx. 1m tall and wide
– Maintenance: Remove spent flower spikes and old leaves to encourage neat growth

🌿 Indigenous to South Africa, Kniphofia rooperi is a tough, low-maintenance choice for gardeners wanting colour, structure, and pollinator appeal.
