Red Hot Poker 'Pyromania® 'Orange Blaze' (Kniphofia 'Pyromania® 'Orange Blaze') brings bold, upright flower spikes and a clean, clumping habit to your garden. You will get bright orange, poker-like blooms above arching, grasslike foliage through the summer display season. Mature size is typically about 24-30 inches tall with an 18-24 inch spread, making it a strong vertical accent without taking over the bed.
For best performance, plant it where your garden gets full sun and where soil drains well. If your soil stays wet in winter, improve drainage by amending with grit and planting on a slight mound or raised area. Once established, it can handle periods of dryness, but regular watering during active growth helps keep foliage full and supports steady bloom.
Use it to add structure and hot color to mixed borders, along walkways, and near patios where the flowers can be enjoyed up close. The vivid blooms are also a reliable draw for hummingbirds and butterflies, and the upright habit pairs well with mounded perennials and ornamental grasses.
Maintenance is simple: leave foliage in place through winter for crown protection, then trim back old leaves in early spring as new growth starts. In colder parts of its range, apply a winter mulch to help protect the crown from freeze-thaw cycles.
