Kniphofia Percy's Pride

Kniphofia 'Percy's Pride' is a large clump-forming, deciduous perennial with toothed, and angled grass-like, mid-green leaves and, in late summer to early autumn, upright spikes of large lemon-yellow flowers opening from green buds, an erect perennial to 1.2m tall.

Kniphofia, also sometimes called Tritoma, Red Hot Poker, Torch Lily or Poker Plant, is a genus of plants in the family Xanthorrhoeaceae, which includes 70 or more species native to Africa. Some species have been commercially used horticulturally, and are commonly known for their bright, rocket-shaped flowers. These plants produce spikes of upright, brightly-coloured, red-to-orange flowers. This gives names such as "torch" and "red hot poker" to many of them. The flowers produce copious nectar while blooming, and may attract many insect species. The Kniphofia genus is named after Johann Hieronymus Kniphof, an 18th century German physician and botanist.
