I would say around one-two weeks as cut flowers. These are blooming a few weeks early this year.

Good.

Saw pic of K. lola on PT last year and really liked it. Checked around and found that Kniphofia are in HI but are not commonly available. Our climate in Kona may be compatible unless they really need some cold in the Winter. Ordered 2 different sizes on-line last Fall, some K. 'Lola' and K. 'Nancy Red', and had them shipped to HI. We'll see how they do.

Dr. George you can get all most any type of red hot poker from the main land through Mail order nursery’s especially any of the West Coast States.

I have Lola and Nancy red and they both are great flowering plants. They really don’t need cold to bloom since I’ve notice them blooming in subtropical and tropical places. Some I can’t grow because it they bloom in winter and need more heat and sun.

Here’s a pic of Lola that blooms here in early July.

Heres a website that list the winter bloomers and summer bloomers. You may have to enlarge the image several times to actually see the names in the pic but you can hit the nursery name at top and it will take you to their page.

Kniphofia triangularis (Dwarf Red Hot Poker) is very dependable here and great in a pot or a small space.  And just as attractive to hummingbirds as the larger varieties. I took this picture this afternoon (6/29/18). ;)

I just sewed a few thousand seeds. Really looking forward to growing these.

This week I was surprised and pleased to see that my K. triangularis is a repeat bloomer, at least in my location. Here it is pushing out a fresh crop less than 3 months after the first batch late in June!:D

I got onto these as well.  Evergreen and drought tolerant, so a real winner for me if I can keep the rabbits away from them.  I bought three small plants labelled as Kniphofia "flamenco", which bloomed for me the first week of June.  One ended up being a different variety of solid yellow flower so no clue what it is, and I don't have a picture of that one.  

Palm crazy I think yours are much larger than mine and definitely more impressive!

Yes, rooperii is much later and so is lola. This summer I did not water mine at all and they still look great and bloom on time.

I tried to grow these once here in Florida. It didn;t work. Which was a shame because they are so neat
