Kniphofia ‘Red Rocket’ produces vivid coral-red flower spikes that light up sunny borders, gravel gardens and prairie-style planting, bringing bold colour and strong vertical shape through late summer.

An herbaceous perennial reaching around 60cm in height (and taller in flower), it forms a clump of strap-like foliage and sends up repeated spikes that open gradually, extending the flowering display into autumn.

Plant in full sun in well-drained soil for best performance. A warm, sheltered position helps the stems stay upright and encourages strong colouring, especially in cooler or windier gardens.

Water to establish, then only during prolonged dry spells. Feed in spring, and remove spent stems to encourage more blooms. Leave foliage over winter for protection, then tidy in spring as growth resumes.

Perfect for hot borders and wildlife-friendly planting, kniphofia pairs beautifully with grasses, echinacea and late-summer perennials, and provides long-lasting cut stems as well.
