Adored by butterflies and bees for their nectar and flower arrangers for their style - red hot pokers make lovely cut flowers too.

Supplied as 2 established plants in 9cm pots, ready to plant out. Note - plants are dormant during October to March so may show no leaves in the pot during these months. Care Information Best grown in a well-drained, but not over-fertile soil, plants bloom best in full sun. Water your plant regularly over the summer. Apply a light fertilizer in spring or early summer. Deadhead after flowering. Leave the old foliage on the plant to protect the crown over winter. Tidy plants in spring by pulling away dead and damaged leaves from the base, which will also allow you to check for slugs and snails. Mulch young plants with straw or leaves or cover with fleece for their first winter.
