Lily, Torch

The perennial commonly referred to as the torch lily or red-hot poker is an old fashion perennial which has not become as popular as many of the perennial genera in production today. Although they are very showy when in bloom, the appearance of past cultivars declined rapidly after the flowers senesce. Moving forward to present day, the breeding and selection efforts of Richard Saul of ItSaul Plants Inc. has brought kniphofia Echo series to the marketplace.
