Kniphofia “Fire Dance” Seeds ~ Red Hot Poker ~ Torch Lily ~ Tritoma ~ Rare ~ Exotic ~ Easy Care

Fire Dance Kniphofia is a compact red hot poker with upright spikes of warm red and orange flowers held above tidy, grassy foliage. It grows with steady vigor, stays neat, and doesn’t flop when the heat settles in. This one fits easily into sunny borders and mixed beds where you want color without a lot of bulk. I like it where you can enjoy the blooms up close, since the plants stay well-behaved.

Landscape Attributes

Fire Dance Torchlily is an open herbaceous evergreen perennial with tall flower stalks held atop a low mound of foliage. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage.

This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and should be cut back in late fall in preparation for winter. It is a good choice for attracting hummingbirds to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics.

It thrives in full sun and well-drained, average to dry, or sandy soil.

Maintenance: Low maintenance; drought-tolerant once established. Cut back in late fall or early spring.

Spacing: Space plants approximately 22 inches apart. Fire Dance Torchlily will grow to be about 18 inches tall at maturity extending to 24 inches tall with the flowers, with a spread of 24 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 22 inches apart. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 10 years. As an evegreen perennial, this plant will typically keep its form and foliage year-round.

This plant does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers dry to average moisture levels with very well-drained soil, and will often die in standing water. It is considered to be drought-tolerant, and thus makes an ideal choice for a low-water garden or xeriscape application. It is not particular as to soil pH, but grows best in sandy soils. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution.

Once established, Fire Dance is dependable year after year and doesn’t need much attention. The flowers are a consistent draw for hummingbirds through the warm months.
