Description
Red Hot Poker Aflame, by VIVA Anderson. My tribute to these tall beauties that appear here in the dense forests of Australia; Nature's color sensation in RED ! Native to South Africa.
Kniphofia uvaria is a species of flowering plant in the family Asphodelaceae, also known as tritomea, torch lily, or red hot poker, due to the shape and color of its inflorescence. The leaves are reminiscent of a lily, and the flowerhead can reach up to 1.5 m (5 ft) in height. There are many varieties of torch lily, and they bloom at different times during the growing season. The flowers are red, orange, and yellow.

Love this VIVA . My plant blooms only once and its pokers are yellow . I bought tubers and they took forever to grow ,5 years . So I love them because they took so much time and effort . They are like rays of sunshine. VL

Thank you, Basant: here is what I found, to answer::"native to South Africa, there are 70 species, though most garden varieties are hybrids. Kniphofia is tolerant of heat and drought, is low maintenance and resistant to most pests and diseases." and to add: I lived in South Africa for years, never saw one, but: statistics say otherwise.
