Description: Kniphofia 'Poco™ Sunset' is a compact, vibrant variety of the Red Hot Poker plant, featuring striking spikes of fiery orange, red, and yellow flowers that resemble torches. This hardy perennial is loved for its long-lasting blooms and ability to attract pollinators such as bees and birds.

It thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, tolerating dry conditions once established. Flowering from late spring through autumn, this variety offers an extended season of interest.
