Description
Flames of genius!...the 'Alcazar' Red Hot Poker brings warm, fiery color to the garden with its multicolor flower spikes. Each rocket-like bloom is formed with bronze-red buds that open from bottom to top in warm shades of orange to yellow. A favorite of hummingbirds and butterflies, and one you'll always look forward to seeing it bloom in late spring to early summer, this unusual plant is easy to grow and an eye-catcher in the garden!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a grassy clump 18 to 24 inches tall and 2 to 3 feet wide, with flower spikes to 3 to 4 feet tall, the Alcazar Red Hot Poker is ideal for use as an accent or grouping in perennial or landscape borders, especially where there is plenty of sunshine. Great around ponds and in rock gardens. A fine addition to perennial gardens, tropical look gardens, hummingbird gardens. Xeriscape gardens (low water needs), and red or orange theme gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 5 feet or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Red Hot Poker are very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained to dry soil of average or even poor fertility. Though they will tolerate some light shade, they bloom their best in full to mostly sun. Maintenance is minimal to none. Plants can be cleaned up at the end of winter before ne growth emerges in spring.
Note: In USDA Zone 6 this plant will appreciate a layer of mulch for protection from the cold.
Plant Long & Prosper!
