Description

A hummingbirds dream come true, the Poco Orange Red Hot Poker is a hardy perennial featuring abundant, cone-shaped vertical spikes packed with brilliant orange tubular flowers that begin appearing in early summer and keep coming through mid fall. It’s no wonder this one won ‘Best & Brightest’ at Walt Disney World’s Bedding Plant Trial Program. A compact variety with grassy foliage to 14 inches tall and equally as wide and flowers to 21 inches, which makes it a perfect fit for smaller garden spaces and containers. Easy to grow, deer and drought resistant when established, thrives in poor soil that are well-drained, bountiful color all summer and into fall…what more can we ask for?

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing in a grassy clump 14 inches tall and maybe 18 inches wide, with flower spikes to 21 inches tall, the Poco Orange Hot Poker is ideal for use as an accent in small garden spaces and containers or in grouping in perennial or landscape borders, especially where there is plenty of sunshine. A fine addition to perennial gardens, rock gardens, tropical look gardens, hummingbird gardens. Xeriscape gardens (low water needs), and orange theme gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 18 inches apart for groupings; 3 feet or more apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences

Poco Orange Red Hot Poker is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained to dry soil of average or even poor fertility. Though it will tolerate some light shade, best bloom is in full to mostly sun. We suggest at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Maintenance is minimal to none. Plants can be cleaned up at the end of winter before new growth emerges in spring.

Note: In USDA Zone 6 this plant will appreciate a layer of mulch for protection from the cold.

Plant Long & Prosper!
