Kniphofia 'Hot and Cold' PP31185 from the PYROMANIA® Collection is a truly dramatic showpiece for outdoor landscapes, combining bold beauty with remarkable resilience. Hardy in USDA zones 5-9, this perennial thrives in full sun and rewards gardeners with an extended bloom period—from early summer continuously into late summer and fall—making it a dynamic source of garden color and pollinator activity. Its flower spikes are a visual marvel, with fiery tangerine-orange buds opening to creamy white blooms, artistically stacked above vibrant green, grass-like foliage. The flowers are not fragrant, allowing their striking colors and flawless form to be the centerpiece.

This Red Hot Poker is packed with advantages. It fits beautifully into smaller garden spaces due to its compact, upright habit (maturing at 30-36in tall and 24-30in wide), ensuring drama even in modest landscapes. It's a highly attractive outdoor plant, perfect for borders, perennial beds, cottage gardens, contemporary plantings, and containers. Kniphofia 'Hot and Cold' is virtually trouble-free: minimal trimming is needed, as its tidy habit resists flopping and overgrowth. Its foliage and strong root system make it beautifully drought tolerant once established, easy to care for with little maintenance. Highly durable, it shrugs off challenging conditions such as salt exposure and deer or rabbit incursions—ideal for areas where wildlife browsing or harsh elements are a concern.

Beyond colorful display, 'Hot and Cold' is a haven for pollinators—enticing bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds for joyful garden activity. Not only is it deer resistant, but all plant parts are considered non-toxic and pet safe, so it’s suitable for family-friendly backyards.

General care is straightforward. Plant Kniphofia 'Hot and Cold' in well-drained neutral to slightly acidic soil with plenty of sunlight. Space at least 24in apart for plentiful airflow. Water regularly during establishment and dry spells, letting soil dry between watering's. Mulching each autumn conserves moisture and insulates roots in colder zones, also suppressing weeds. Prune back spent flower spikes and trim leaves in early spring for robust regrowth and abundant blooms. Fertilize in spring with a slow-release balanced feed. With these easy guidelines, Kniphofia 'Hot and Cold' will reward you with vibrant color, fuss-free maintenance, and lasting garden appeal season after season.
