Kniphofia 'Toffee Nosed' (Toffee Nosed Red Hot Poker)
SunZone: 7-10, at least 36" tall Origin: Hybrid
The wonderful 1980s introduction was selected by John Metcalf of Four Seasons Nursery in the UK. It's taken us 10 years to build up enough stock of this great kniphofia to be able to share, so don't delay in case we run out. Compared to the larger pokers, the narrow green leaves on this winner of the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) Award of Garden Merit make a smallish, 2' wide clump. Starting in June (NC), the 3' tall, narrow flower stalks end in ivory flowers with an orange top...a very unusual color combination in pokers. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
