Description
Common Name: Red Hot Poker
Brilliant yellow flowers are produced above notably blue-green, wide-leafed foliage on a very large, robust clump.This variety is one of the tallest of the collection, so it’s perfect for giving height to the garden.
The spiky flowers and upright habit gives a very unique drama to your landscape, with rebloom extending the color late into the season. Grass-like foliage provides textural contrast to bold-leaved perennials, like Hibiscus. These tropical-looking plants are hardy to USDA 6(Canadian 7) and possibly hardier if you provide protection. Reports of these surviving in Canadain zone 6 with protection. They also grow well in pots and overwinter in unheated shed/garage.
