Description
Kniphofia 'Strawberries and Cream'
Height x Spread: 70cm x 25cm
Individual tubular flowers make up this glorious flower spike which starts off as coral before fading to white, hence the name 'Strawberries and Cream'. Beneath the fading flower spikes are clumps of linear, deep green arching foliage.
Kniphofia perform best when planted in a free-draining but moisture-retentive fertile soil in full sun. Their strong vertical lines can be used to provide structure within flower borders.
