Bought this plant at the Bristol Botanical Garden plant sale when I first started collecting plants (they don't do them anymore , I used to love those sales) . This is its actual colour (sometimes photos can lie) and It never fails to stop me in my tracks. Typically with the plants you like the most, I find it tricky to keep through the winter; its definately more tender than my other kniphofias. Its South African of course (doesn't help). I think a very sheltered sunny position will have to be found for it.
