Sweet little mini poker…charming 18-24" clumps of narrow, grassy arching leaves…bright pumpkin orange flowers in late summer and fall in spikes on 'pokers' that add color and hummer food late in the season. Full sun, most soil, very drought tolerant, deer resistant. Carefree and easy genus that is much underused!
