Kniphofia (family: liliaceae): perennial that flowers abundantly. The original plant bears long spicky flowers that are yellow at the base and turn into firery red at the top. The modern hybrids come in white, yellow, red and many creamy pastel shades. These flowers are long lasting and they attract humming birds. The leaves are long and narrow, kinda grass like. They like full sun and well drained soil and are hardy in zones 6-10. And that's about all I found out so far. They sure look nice and would like to grow some but where to find them?!?
