Kniphofia
Name: Pronounced ni-FOH-feea, or k-nip-HOF-ia (after Dr. Kniphof - see Origins). Commonly called red-hot pokers, in reference to their upright silhouette and reddish colouring, which gets more intense towards the tip. Red hot poker is certainly easier to say.
Description: The downward-pointing flowers open from the bottom of the stem upwards, revealing golden stamens.
Origin: Kniphofia are native to South Africa. Named after German physician J H Kniphof.
Colour: Mainly reds and oranges but also available in more subtle shades of pale green, cream and sand
Availability: May to October.
Care Tips: The long stems can sometimes bend in transit which produces interesting curves and shapes for arranging. They will last a week or two in water. The lower flowers can be snipped off as they die. Red hot pokers do not like cigarette smoke. |
