Notes

'Ember Glow' red-hot poker (Kniphofia 'Ember Glow') is a perennial for borders and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It blooms in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn, and butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the flowers. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Once settled, it handles dry spells well.

Pairs well with Feuerland yarrow, Silver feather grass, and Globe thistle.
