PLANT OF THE WEEK
BEAUTIFUL vertical accents of colour are provided by kniphofias or red hot pokers.
Grouped together they can look dramatic and glowing as the sun sets on their magnificent blooms. One of the best is ‘Gladness’ with apricot buds that reveal orange luminescent flowers. They originate in South Africa but are very happy in these islands – so long as they don’t get waterlogged they will live a long life.
