Plant Care

Flamenco Red-Hot Poker is relatively low-maintenance once established. Remove spent flower spikes to encourage continuous blooming throughout the season. In late fall, tie the foliage together to protect the crown during winter months. Cut back old foliage in early spring before new growth emerges. Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring when new growth appears.

Planting Instructions

Plant in spring or early fall, spacing plants 45-60cm apart. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Position the plant at the same level it was growing in the container. Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly. Apply a layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot.
