Spikes topped by narrow, tubular flowers from pale yellow to orange-red.
Kniphofia Red Hot Poker A colorful genus of perennial plants from southern Africa, various Kniphofia species and cultivars bloom with showy spikes of tubular orange, yellow, pink and bi-colored flowers. The plant varies in size from compact to huge. The foliage is grassy in appearance and the flowers are highly attractive to hummingbirds. 40-48' tall x 24-36' wide, brilliant 'Alcazar' grows up to 4 feet tall, displaying its signature bright red and yellow flower-spikes. Known as Red Hot Poker or Torch Lily, its flowers are red when freshly-opened and fade to yellow as they age, recalling a candle flame. 'Alcazar' is an excellent choice for creating focal points at the back of the border or in the center of island beds.
