Purchased from Annie’s Annuals in 2017 for the memory garden, this is a more elegant version of the popular red-hot-poker. The plant grows to about three feet high for me with long, thin, grass-like leaves and g late spring flower spikes of well-spaced orange and yellow tubular blooms. It tends to bloom again when cool weather returns in the early autumn, and I’m hopeful it will do that again.
My future plans for this plant are to divide it (possibly this autumn) and plant more around the memory garden. I’ll also feed it in September to try to coax it to get a few more bloom spikes before it shuts down for the winter.
