Growing instructions
Product description
The Torch Lily (Kniphofia), also called Red Hot Poker, is a perennial, herbaceous plant that reaches a height of 80-160 centimeters. The extraordinary, torch-like inflorescences are eye-catching in any flower bed. This winter hardy, evergreen flowering plant is home to east and south Africa and is very easy to care for. However, the Torch Lily will seldom bloom in the first year. It needs time to grow accustom to its environment. As the years go by, its bloom and inflorescences will increase.
Cultivation:
- from early spring to early autumn
- place seeds flat on suitable substrate
- cultivation soil should be permeable, containing a bit of sand, gravel and humus
- the seeds germinate at a temperature of around 20° C
