Setup, Compatibility & Care
To establish your Kniphofia, select a location that receives full sun for the majority of the day. Prepare your soil by incorporating organic matter to increase its humus content and ensure drainage. When planting, dig a hole twice the width of the 9cm pot and place the root ball at the same depth it held in the container. Water thoroughly after planting. Maintenance is minimal, but you should prune back faded stems at the end of the season. In late autumn, apply a layer of mulch around the base or cover with horticultural fleece if you live in an area prone to hard winter frosts.
