The RHS Award of Garden Merit is awarded for ease of cultivation, excellence and constitution but not necessarily hardiness. Adding some excitement, height and colour in the late summer the Knifophia family especially suit those who garden on soils that dry out in summer - they are very drought tolerant plants and love the sun! This variety, initially raised at the Bees nursery near Maidenhead will be supplied as fresh dug divisions from our nursery beds. This a red form with good barrel shaped flowers in July / August to 48".
Planting instructions
Good drainage needed, they dislike waterlogging. Best in fairly full sun and in warmer soils. Plant them in good conditions, water as necessary to establish them in the late spring and early summer, remember some slug pellets around the area 'in case' and wait for the summer flourish. If you are planting more than one plant them about 14" apart, and if different varieties a little further away from one another.
