Kniphofia Tawny King close up

Thank you Hb it's new this year so was pleased to get a flower spike. My mom and dad have an old one and they have 8 flowers this year :)

Looks great , mine have flowered there best this year finally, fed up of buying 9cm pots and they take another two years to flower , and hard to get hold of the variety you want in a bigger pot , most garden centers only do a couple and the "Mango series" has taken of big time

Thanks Gg, I was looking at 9cm pots at the time, I even asked the question on here if they were likely to flower but thought it was unlikely, managed to get 2l pot online for £7 so pleased its flowered, hope it gets through winter :)

lots of bark around the base and even some fern fronds to help cover the crown , I do worry in the first couple of years

I will do :)
