Do you have a dry and sun baked spot in your garden that has 
proved unsuitable for what perennials you now have? Then try 
some of the colorful new tritomas. The hottest sun and any soil 
that has drainage will accommodate any of these hybrid Red Hot 
Pokers which are hardy almost anywhere. Some are in flower 
from June until frost. All are wonderful keepers as cut flowers 
‘and their graceful form in floral arrangements is most pleasing. 
A 3 or 4 year old clump will be one of the most spectacular sub- 
jects in your garden.
