Description
Kniphofia 'Jenny Bloom' is an unusual medium-sized, clump forming, deciduous, late flowering perennial, with deep green, grass-like leaves. Erect stems with peachy-orange flowers that fade to cream in mid-summer and early autumn.
Kniphofia, also sometimes called Tritoma, Red Hot Poker, Torch Lily or Poker Plant, is a genus of plants in the family Xanthorrhoeaceae, that 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. Jenny Bloom is an unusual, medium-sized, clump forming, deciduous, perennial, with deep green grass-like leaves. Erect stems with peachy-orange flowers that fade to cream in mid-summer and early autumn.
