Kniphofia Rocket’s Red Glare adds a striking vertical accent to gardens with its fiery, rocket-like flower spikes. The tubular flowers transition from deep red at the top to yellow hues at the base, creating a dramatic colour gradient. Slender, arching green leaves form a dense clump, providing a lush contrast to the tall, torch-like blooms. Ideal for cottage gardens, borders, and pollinator-friendly landscapes, these perennials attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Their bold structure makes them excellent focal points in mixed beds or drought-tolerant gardens.
Planting instructions
Plant bulbs 8-10 cm deep and 30-45 cm apart in well-draining soil in a sunny location. Ensure the crown is just above soil level. Water moderately.
Place the bulbs just below the soil surface, about 2-3 cm deep, and cover lightly with soil.
Growing Requirements
Pests
Generally pest-resistant but can be affected by aphids and slugs. Ensure proper drainage to prevent fungal issues.
soil
Thrives in well-draining, sandy or loamy soil enriched with organic matter.
spot
Prefers full sun; perfect for garden beds, borders, or rock gardens.
temperature
Best grown in temperatures between 15-25°C. Can tolerate light frosts but requires mulching in colder climates.
watering
Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid waterlogging. Water at the base to prevent fungal issues on the leaves.
how to harvest
Cut flower spikes when half of the tubular blooms are open. Pair with ornamental grasses or contrasting flowers.
To extend vase life, trim the stems at an angle, change the water every two days, and remove any submerged leaves.
