Pyromania Flashpoint Red Hot Poker (Kniphofia hybrid) can add drama to any landscape in early to late summer. If you're familiar with Kniphofia, you know how big and pretty the flowers are as they burst above grassy foliage each year. Pyromania flashpoint flowers are chartreuse yellow and fade to a creamy white, making this an unusual and drought-tolerant plant for nearly any garden use. The blooms last a long time and feed birds after they fade.

With Pyromania Flashpoint Red Hot Poker, you get long-lasting bloom, and you can enjoy reblooming on the same plant. Unlike some plants that flower briefly and leave only foliage behind, this clump-forming Red Hot Poker can adorn your landscape for most of the growing season. The plant grows to about 50 inches tall and will attract bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. It generally is ignored by deer and rabbits. It's also drought and salt tolerant, so Kniphofia makes a great border plant for driveways and sidewalks.

Pyromania Flashpoint Red Hot Poker Care

Plant your Pyromania Flashpoint Red Hot Poker in full sun for best bloom and health. The plant is cold hardy to zone 5 and can take summer heat up to zone 9. Just add a protective layer of mulch in fall for zones 5 and 6. Red Hot Pokers can grow in any soil type but need to be in soil that drains well. You can leave flower stalks for birds or cut them for indoor arrangements. Just trim back the foliage each spring to help stimulate new growth.

Pyromania Flashpoint Red Hot Poker Spacing

For a pollinator-friendly border, place your Pyromania Flashpoint Red Hot Poker plants about 2.5 to 3 feet apart from center. Or place one in the middle or back of a container for a thriller plant.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
