Kniphofia (Tritoma) 
(POKER PLANT, FLAME FLOWER, or TORCH LILY) 
>NE of the most unique and striking plants in cultivation. No one who has ever seen its 
pyramidal spike of blazing red flowers is likely to forget when and where he discovered 
this plant. A sky-rocket is not more startling .”—Cyclopedia of American Horticulture . 
These noble plants are increasing in popularity every year, and form one of the most 
attractive features of the hardy border. North of Philadelphia they need protection in 
winter. The best way is to heel them in by digging a shallow trench and laying them 
close together in a slanting position in a dry location, covering them with about 6 inches 
of earth. Plant early in spring in well-drained soil. They may also be kept in dry 
earth in a cool cellar.
