Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A smaller Kniphy (or is it a Phofie?), at about 16” tall, compact with narrow foliage. Flower spikes appear over a long season, summer to fall and are orange at the base and red on top and draw hummers like a magnet. Nice cut flower, drought and deer resistant and requires very little care. Average soil, full sun, water when dry. Nice Kni-phofie for the smaller garden or the foreground in a larger one! USDA Z6-9 3" pot
