Short Description

There are very few rules in gardening, but perhaps the most important one is to work within your zone. Choosing plants that grow and thrive in your particular climate is the very first step toward having a beautiful garden. So my favorite all time perennial is the beautiful Red Hot Poker plant. From the first time i saw this plant I am always looking to add more to my yard and learn more about it. It seems as if there are two varieties that i have come upon that i have in my yard - one is a spring/early summer bloomer and the other is a later summer bloomer.

Spikes topped by narrow, tubular flowers from pale yellow to orange-red.

Full Description

Not a blowtorch, but close. Spikes glow, blaze open fiery red, then pale and wither. Mixture contains colors not usually available. Use as accents with grasses or sprawling blues and purples. Spice up your hypercums, heleniums and gaillardias. The classic showpiece. GARDEN HINTS: Seeds may be started indoors about 6 weeks before outdoor planting time. In cold areas, protect over winter with a layer of straw mulch. Cultivate or mulch to control weeds.
