Red Hot Poker 'Wrexham Buttercup'

Kniphofia - Red-Hot Pokers - are easy to grow plants with a long flowering season. Due to their height they are suitable for growing towards the back of a border.

Propagating by division

From Mid Spring TO Mid Spring

Kniphofia will produce seed, but the seed does not grow true to the variety. Division is the best way to propagate. Using a fork dig up plant, trying to keep the root ball as complete as possible. Split the root ball at the centre with a sharp knife or a spade, or by placing two garden forks back-to-back into the middle of the root ball, and pushing the fork handles apart.to lever the root ball apart. Replant the new clumps to the same depth as the original, and water well. Keep well watered until established.
