Full sun-part shade; moderate to regular water.
Leaves to 1in. wide, 2ft long make a dense clump of grasslike to 2ft tall. Oblong flower heads on stems 3-3 ½ ft tall; flowering stems look like glowing pokers or torches. Coral red buds open to orange and yellow deep blossoms in late spring and repeat throughout the growing season. Excellent cut flower. A favorite for hummingbirds!
