Two flower spikes in different stages of opening. August 2002
Common name: Red Hot Poker 'Little Maid'
Family: Asphodelaceae
Genus: Kniphofia
I like the vertical statement they make in your garden. Are they easy to grow?
Unfortunately they hate our heavy clay so these two will be planted in a container this time! Other than that they seem to fair well with a little healthy neglect and some winter mulching when it gets cold.
I also have clay soil and may also grow them in a container.
Thanks for the advice.
My pleasure Shirley and good luck!
