Modern KNIPHOFIAS .. . Spectacular Garden Accents 
KNIPHOFIA (Tritoma)—Torch Lily or Poker Plant 
The modern trend in these most spectacular of summer and fall 
blooming perennials is towards hardier, shorter varieties in softer 
colors. The distinctive kinds below with their basal clumps of long, 
narrow leaves and their up-soaring spears of festive blooms will 
create a unique effect in your garden. Give the plants any ordinary 
soil that has excellent drainage and the hottest, sunniest spot you 
have. They serve as strong accents and should be placed to take 
advantage of their vertical lines. Flower arrangers find them indis- 
pensable for arrangements in the modern manner. Height 3 to 4 
ft.; space 1% ft.; plant in spring.
