Meet Poco™ Butter Brickle Red Hot Poker, the perennial equivalent of a dessert you can't resist. This compact torch lily lights up the landscape with creamy caramel-gold blooms that appear in early summer and just keep coming until frost. Its flower spikes rise like candles over stiff, architectural foliage that stays neat and upright even when not in bloom — a rarity among red hot pokers.
A proud member of Terra Nova's Poco™ series, Poco™ Butter Brickle Red Hot Poker delivers all the bold color and tropical flair of traditional Kniphofia in a compact, garden-friendly form. Its blooms fall cleanly without fuss, ensuring a polished, fresh look all season long. And because it's heat and humidity-tolerant, this plant thrives where others wilt, bringing effortless golden glow to borders, pollinator gardens, or mass plantings.
Beyond its sunny looks, this kniphofia offers practical perks, too: it's deer-resistant, drought-hardy once established, and a magnet for hummingbirds and butterflies. Whether you're designing a warm-hued pollinator garden or seeking vertical color in small spaces, Poco™ Butter Brickle Red Hot Poker brings sweet satisfaction.
