red-hot poker

Red-hot poker (Kniphofia 'Primrose Beauty') should be watered every 7-10 days during the growing season while the soil is damp. When watering, it's important to keep the soil lightly moist but not overly saturated. During the winter season, reduce watering to once every 2 to 3 weeks, allowing the soil to go slightly dry between waterings.

Red-hot poker plants (Kniphofia 'Primrose Beauty') need full sun for optimal growth. For best results, they should be planted in a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. However, they can tolerate some temporary shade so it is okay to place them in a spot with some afternoon shade. Red-hot poker plants should not be in full shade, or in a spot that receives mostly shady conditions. During the peak of summer, when the sun is strongest, it is beneficial to provide additional shade or protection. This will help to protect the plant from sunburn and excessive stress.

Red-hot poker (Kniphofia 'Primrose Beauty') should be pruned in early spring. Cut off any frozen or dead foliage. Prune any stems that have not produced as much flower or as many flowers as the other stems. Decrease the overall size of the perennial by cutting 1-third to 1-half of the foliage off. Make sure that the remaining foliage remains healthy and vibrant. Remove any dead or discolored foliage and flower stalks to maintain the aesthetic appeal of the plant.
