Introducing the Kniphofia Rufa Rasta, This 9cm potted plant, also known as Red Hot Poker, thrives in full sun or partial shade, making it a versatile addition to any outdoor space.
Featuring arching, grass-like foliage, this attractive perennial forms a generous clump that adds depth and texture to mixed borders or gravel gardens. As midsummer approaches, upright stems emerge, boasting loose clusters of slender, coral-red buds which unfurl from the base, revealing tubular lime-green flowers that create a striking contrast against the foliage.
Caring for the Kniphofia Rufa Rasta is simple. During autumn, remove and compost faded flower spikes, ensuring the plant remains tidy. To offer protection during winter, consider providing a layer of mulch around the crown of the plant just for really hard frosts, most it should be fine with hardy down to around -10c. As spring approaches, trim any tatty-looking foliage to make way for new growth. Dividing overcrowded plants at this time will help maintain the health and vitality of your plants.
