Provide red hot poker plants with 1 inch of water every week during hot summers. Watering: Although established red hot poker plants can withstand dry periods in summer, lack of adequate watering will cause the flowering to be decreased. Once established they can tolerate drier soils. They grow best in moist, compost amended soils that have a neutral or slightly acidic pH.

Spring is the best time to plant Kniphofia roots in the garden, as they produce flowers for several weeks in the summer and go dormant in the winter. While these plants aren’t particularly fussy, they will not survive in soggy conditions or standing water. If you notice puddles of water 5-6 hours after a hard rain, scout out another site or amend the soil with organic material to raise the level 2-3 inches. Plant your Kniphofia roots in an outdoor location with well-drained soil that receives full or partial sun. Beyond being super easy to grow, these beauties can also manage drought, although they tend to bloom more profusely with supplemental water.
