Kniphofia Ember Glow ('Tneg') (PBR) (Glow Series)
red hot poker
Kniphofia Ember Glow is a must-have if you're looking for something to light up the late summer and autumn garden.
While relatively compact, its simmering pokers are nonetheless attention-grabbing, making it ideal for planting in distant borders that you want to stand out. It's also a natural for 'hot' themed planting schemes, but it will also mix brilliantly with contrasting blues or purples.

How to care for Kniphofia Ember Glow ('Tneg') (PBR) (Glow Series):
Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Prepare the area by incorporating organic matter and ensuring good drainage. Space plants about 60-90cm (2-3ft) apart, planting at the same depth as they were in their containers.
Water thoroughly after planting and mulch to retain moisture. Once established, Kniphofia is relatively drought-tolerant but benefits from regular watering during dry spells.
Feed in spring with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser. In autumn remove and compost the faded flower spikes and apply a deep dry mulch such as pine needles around the crown of the plant.
Cut back to the ground in spring to keep the foliage fresh-looking.
