Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Poco™ Yellow Kniphofia produces dense spikes of deep yellow tubular flowers that adorn short sturdy spikes beginning early in the season and continuing throughout summer and fall all on a compact dense growing sturdy perennial with deep green narrow foliage. The Poco™ Kniphofia series were selected for their shorter more compact stature and repeat flowering habit making them the perfect choice for mixed containers or as specimen pots as well as hardy, reliable, drought resistant perennials for the garden and landscape. Attracts hummingbirds and other long-tongued pollinators. The Red Hot Poker is drought tolerant once well established, has some salt tolerance, and is considered deer resistant. This tough and reliable clump forming perennial is deserving of a place in any sunny garden.
