Red Hot Poker. 'Percy's Pride'

Genus: Kniphofia.

Species: Kniphofia 'Percy's Pride'.

I grow a lot of red Hot Pokers and this is one of my favourites. Forms a nice compact clump. Flowers in August/September. Not red but yellow, the flowers just suddenly appear. Beware of snails live at the base somewhere that like to damage the new spikes. In the winter or spring pull as many old leaves off as posible.
