Kniphofia 'Sideshow Bob' / Size: 4" pot
This seedling of Kniphofia fibrosa was selected for its beautiful citrus yellow flowers that appear in June, usually followed by a rebloom later in summer. This hardy red hot poker is most remarkable for the appearance of very unusual, additional lateral flowering shoots from the main stem. The foliage is grass-like, keeled, and erect. Flowers can reach a height of 2' and prefer full sun exposure. The species occurs in damp grassy slopes in its native South Africa, so be sure to water freely during the growing season and give it a good thick layer of mulch for winter protection. Hardy to Zone 6 with protection.
