Kniphofia Pauciflora 10lt
Slender Poker, Poker Plant, Dainty Poker
Kniphofia pauciflora is a rare, clump-forming perennial valued for its graceful grass-like foliage and slender flower spikes bearing tubular coral-red to orange blooms. Unlike many larger red hot pokers, this species has a softer, more delicate appearance, making it ideal for naturalistic and waterwise gardens. Its nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to sunbirds and pollinators.
