Red hot pokers are instantly recognisable. Their arching clumps of long, narrow foliage form a large mound, from the centre of which upright flower spikes bear the characteristic glowing red and orange flowers. The leaves of Kniphofia 'Percy's Pride' die off in winter. Rather than clearing them away in autumn, it's a good idea to leave them until spring, to protect the crowns for winter - at least for the first year or two, while plants become established.
Team red hot pokers with other hot-coloured flowers, and plants such as Euphorbia mellifera that enjoy similar growing conditions. Kniphofia 'Percy's Pride' produces greenish-yellow flower spikes.
