Product Details

Product Details

The bristling, bicolor flower spikes of Kniphofia Pyromania® 'Hot and Cold' blend warm and cool colors simultaneously, the orange-red flower buds opening, from the bottom up, into creamy blossoms. Like other Red Hot Pokers, this one flowers over an extended period with grassy green foliage supporting the long-running show from below. A Proven Winners® variety. PP 31,185

The 70 or so members of the genus Kniphofia are best known for their towering spikes of tubular, intensely colored flowers. Over the years, breeders have selected varieties with softer colors. Native to Africa, Kniphofias require full sun and well-drained soil. In our experience, they are otherwise carefree.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.

WHEN WE SHIP

We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

Didn't make an appearance

I normally have great results with all my WFF purchases. These Kniphofia Pyromania never grew. I planted them in Spring 2023. Nothing popped up. Not even a seedling. They are planted as per the growing conditions. The same thing happened to the amsonia hubrechti. They didn't grow. Hopefully both these plants will emerge next Spring. They were not cheap.

I am very sorry the Kniphofia Pyromania did not grow for you as expected. I know you are disappointed because the unique plants are truly beautiful bloomers. I have refunded you for your ordered bare roots and hope you will give them another chance in the future.

Kniphofia thrives in full sun (or partial shade in the south and warm inland areas of the West) and well-drained soil. In colder climates, plants will benefit from a layer of winter mulch to protect the roots and ensure hardiness.
