Gallon Pot
This is a difficult species to overlook in the garden. It's big with some serious heft. Dense clumps of tall leaves (3'-4') with tall stems bearing fat heads of dark orange to reddish orange buds which open to greenish white in late fall. It's a spectacle. This came from a collection by Paul de Jaeger via our friend June Sinclair whose amazing Rhododendron species garden is fortunately ill-suited for growing Kniphofia. Best in areas that don't frost early in fall. These are chunky plants that get root-bound about 10 minutes after potting so take a screwdriver and tease out the roots.
