Kniphofia ‘Bees Sunset" for my file

Change from the usual red and yellow.

Hi Siris

this spot gets the last of the sunshine and looks like I have switched a light in on them

I had grown this before just totally the wrong spot but find the right spot and hey presto

Gg

Right plant, right place, hey presto.

Lovely, my Stipa Gigantea catches the late sun like that, ps I've got two more flowers coming on my Tawny King :-))

Hi Daylily

my Tawny King is in flower now I will post a photo this week

Ohh great :-))

Ooohhh...love that...added to faves!

spoiling me today Karen , its very good variety but took a good two years to settle in .... it had three flushes of flowers , the other one that has done well is "Tawny King" .

Brilliant. I might get one later GG! Thanks :)

1st and 2nd year keep protected from the winter frost I used a thick bark mulch done the trick even if the top growth is killed off ... remove in the late spring as you probably know the slugs love it as well.
I think they are best planted in the spring to get them off to a good start and tidy up the leaves then as well.

Ah...ok, thanks. I shall try to remember to mulch my lemon popsicle. I have been using upturned hanging baskets full of straw and it seems to work well. Its a good use for them as well, rather than storing them in the garage all winter! Also easy to remove in the spring, and pop the straw in the compost bin.
