Red Hot Poker - potted plant
This potted plant has flowered this season but being in a pot the flower wasnt very large. It is anxious to get out of its pot where it can spread its legs.
Name: Red Hot Poker ( Kniphofia)
Metre high flowers appear in the Spring looking a bit like a fat bottle brush in bright red. The photo pictured of a mature plant could be a little over exposed but the flower is very eye catching.
Drought tolerant and very hardy.
Thanks for looking.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
