Kniphofia (Red hot Poker) ‘Bees Lemon’ – 2 litre pot

More widely known as Red hot Pokers – growing to 3 feet this perennial is loved by insects and birds alike. They have been grown throughout the UK for a very long time, but it has only just been realised that they naturally grow on the edges and banks of water. If they are in a moist planting situation they will assume a new vibrancy and repeat flower with vigour and gusto.

Bees Lemon is one of our tallest, growing to 90-100cm, deep orange/lemon flowers look such a picture – especially besides our “little banana popsicle” – they actually look gorgeous planted “en masse” – now there’s a thought for this summer………
