PLANT OF THE WEEK

KNIPHOFIA ‘GLADNESS’

-

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.
