Red hot pokers are instantly recognisable. Their arching clumps of long, narrow foliage form a large mound, from the centre of which upright flower spikes bear the characteristic glowing red and orange flowers. Kniphofia 'Sunningdale Yellow' is an early flowering red hot poker, bearing slender flowerheads in warm yellow, from June to October.
Grow Kniphofia 'Sunningdale Yellow' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun. Team with hot-coloured flowers, and plants such as Euphorbia mellifera that enjoy similar growing conditions.
