Kniphofia Bare Roots

Kniphofia, commonly known as the Red Hot Poker bare roots, brings bold colour and striking architectural form to summer gardens. With its distinctive torch-like flower spikes in fiery shades of red, orange, and yellow, the red hot poker flower creates height, movement, and long-lasting impact in borders and wildlife-friendly planting schemes. These hardy perennials return year after year, producing vibrant blooms that stand out beautifully against green foliage.

Often referred to as red hot pokers or botanically as Kniphofia uvaria, these dramatic plants are well suited to UK gardens. They thrive in sunny spots and well-drained soil, making them ideal for mixed borders, gravel gardens, and contemporary planting designs. Loved by bees and pollinators, red hot poker plants provide valuable nectar throughout the summer months while adding a tropical feel to outdoor spaces.
