Red Hot Pokers

[gemlady3174]

I bought these plants in New Mexico last year. They are growing beautifully and have gone from about 14" to 28". The problem is they are NOT blooming. Can someone help?!!! Thanks!

Mine took a couple years to bloom, they had very significant foliage prior to ever blooming, then they bloomed for like 2 days. I then dug them up for being a waste of space IMO.

What you have is too irresistible for the butterflies and hummingbirds.
Just wait for your red hot poker to bloom. It may be quite sometime but worth the wait.
