red-hot poker

Once established, red-hot poker plants (Kniphofia 'Peachy Cheeks') should be watered occasionally, about once a week. Water the plant deeply, until the soil is moist to a depth of 6-8 inches. During periods of hot and dry weather, an extra watering each week may be necessary. In cooler weather, the plant may only need to be watered every 10-15 days. Avoid over-watering, as this can lead to root rot. Additionally, it is best to water early in the day, so that the foliage has time to dry out before nightfall.

Red-hot poker (Kniphofia 'Peachy Cheeks') is a full sun plant that thrives in at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day in order to produce its showy blooms. This plant prefers a hot, sunny climate and should be placed in a full sun spot in the garden where it will receive all day sun for optimal growth and flowering.

Red-hot poker (Kniphofia 'Peachy Cheeks') should be pruned in early spring before the new growth begins. Pruning should involve trimming off any dead or damaged foliage, such as flowering stalks and foliage. It is also beneficial to remove any lateral shoots that are growing away from the main stem which can help to prevent overcrowding. Prune just above a healthy pair of leaves, using sharp garden shears. It is best to only remove 1/3 of the previous years growth to ensure healthy new growth in the coming season.
