The genus Kniphofia (Red Hot Poker) is a group of South African native perennials that range from 10in dwarfs to 7ft giants. We have spent quite a bit of time evaluating kniphofia species and cultivars for their garden performance and hope you enjoy our ever-expanding offerings. Most red hot pokers are quite easy to grow in bright sun and good garden soil.

While not necessarily drought-tolerant, Penstemon is heat resilient. Red-hot Poker (Kniphofia) Named for its large, rounded, fiery tip resembling a hot fire poker or compact fireworks display, this stemmed plant produces a lot of nectar in wet years and are favorite hummingbird attractors. The name is a tongue twister (pronounced nee-FOF-ee-a) but these plants are easy to grow - many even say tough to kill - and deliver colorful, spiky, wand-like flowers that hummingbirds love. Once established, these Red Hot Poker plants can also manage drought, although they tend to bloom more profusely with supplemental water.
