Description
Perfect for smaller spaces, 'Fire Dance' Red Hot Poker is a showstopping, pollinator-friendly hero. Hailing from South Africa, 'Fire Dance' is covered with flower spikes all summer long. At 18" tall and wide, this dwarf cultivar is a great addition to smaller perennial collections, small space gardens, and container plantings. Plant it in full sun locations in average soil that drains well; good drainage is a must as it won't tolerate soggy roots. Once established, ‘Fire Dance’ is drought tolerant and hardy in zones 5-8. Deadhead to encourage re-blooming, and mulch in the fall in colder areas to encourage winter hardiness.
