I love these! Just went to the garden center this week to search for them; they don't really like our hot weather here but they will live with some care. Just went to the NC mountains and they were breathtaking there.

We had them in hot dry Oklahoma for many years at a former house and they did great. Maybe it was a specific variety?

We had these for many years at our old house, always got compliment from walkers. Brought some over when we moved and have them out at the lake. They require no care and look great!

Quite striking! We used "red hot poker" as code for "problem customer" when I was in the nursery business. Easy enough to say over the radio - "there's a red hot poker in the shrub section", etc.

Ordered these from Barbara King's line, they're just starting to poke through. Can't wait for them to look like this!
