Red-Hot Poker is a bold and dramatic perennial that creates an unforgettable display in the garden with its fiery, torch-like flower spikes. Rising above a dense clump of grassy, gray-green foliage, the sturdy stems are topped with dense cylinders of tubular flowers that graduate in color from vibrant coral-red at the top to golden-yellow at the base. Blooming from late spring into summer and often again in fall, it is a magnet for hummingbirds and adds a strong vertical accent and tropical flair to sunny borders.

• Fiery Torch-Like Flower Spikes: Produces iconic, dense spikes of tubular flowers in a stunning gradient of red, orange, and yellow.

• Long Blooming & Repeat Flowering: Blooms over a long period and, with proper deadheading, can produce a second flush of flowers in the fall.

• Hummingbird Magnet: The nectar-rich, brightly colored flowers are irresistible to hummingbirds and butterflies.

• Drought Tolerant & Sun-Loving: Thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, it is quite drought-tolerant and low-maintenance.

• Architectural Focal Point: Its tall, striking flower spikes make it an excellent specimen plant or bold background element in mixed borders.
