I'm not a huge fan of Kniphofia typically but that variety is just gorgeous! I don't have space for it in my garden but I wish I did!

They are my favourite plants. Sadly we don't have hummingbirds in the UK. I also don't have a garden myself so can't grow them so I relish the opportunities to see them growing in public gardens.

I think this "Tawny King" is my very favourite one, the dark bronze stems and the subtle colour changes through the flower head are just stunning.

Thanks for the comment Elena!

I think this is a really neat looking bloom, don't see that in our tropical climate, bet the hummers would love it, great photo!

Thanks Sherri, yes they are very popular with hummingbirds. When I did live in the US I was in Maine so most weren't hardy enough to grow there.

There are so many exciting new cultivars of Kniphofia, with lovely subtle colours and longer blooming season. A far cry from the old red and yellow "red hot poker".
