Kniphofia spp.

Plantaerium

Kniphofia 'Royal Standard' is a robust red-hot poker with dense spikes of bright yellow, tubular flowers that open from scarlet buds, creating a striking bicolor effect. Blooming from early to mid-summer, the flowers rise on sturdy bronze stems above a tufted clump of narrow, dark green foliage. This drought-tolerant perennial thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained, humus-rich soil. Ideal for borders, prairies, and naturalistic plantings, it attracts butterflies and hummingbirds while resisting deer and rabbits.
