Thanks to NC plantsman Jim Massey, for sharing this killer poker that he got from "Lola." Kniphofia 'Lola' is, as we say in the South, a real honker. In other words, it's big, it's bodacious, it's the Bo Derek of the red hot pokers. Our amazing clumps are 5' tall x 5' wide with 6-7' spikes of orange flowers in midsummer...a hub for hummingbirds. This is not for the small garden, small people who are easily intimidated, or those who have been diagnosed with a heart condition. If you want to make a loud statement and you have plenty of room, invite "Lola" into your garden! quote]
I am not sure if I can keep this thing but at this point I am thinking I will never be able to dig it up! I thought it would never bloom it has been in the ground over a year and last year did nothing. The flower spikes are over 5' tall right now! On the plus side maybe some hummingbirds will see this, they have not noticed anything else.
