Kniphofia galpinii

Kniphofia galpinii is a hardy clump-forming perennial with architectural flower spikes which arise from elegant grass-like foliage. The slender flowers, which are carried on strong stems, are soft orange-yellow with a redder tip. They usually begin flowering in early summer yet are often still showing colour as the season turns to autumn so they provide a brilliant patch of colour late in the season when many other flowering shrubs and plants are past their peak and beginning to fade. 

An easy to grow, drought tolerant plant once established they do benefit from adding plenty of grit & sand if your soil becomes water-logged over winter as they grow best in a well drained soil.

Particularly attractive to bees and other pollinators. Has been awarded the Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit.

Thrives in well drained soil in full sun.

Flowers June to September.

   Maximum Height/Spread approx. 60cm x 60cm.

Plants will be supplied well rooted and ready for immediate planting out.  My plants are hard grown i.e. grown outside as soon as they have developed a strong enough root system to survive.  This makes them stronger, healthier & more weather tolerant plants than those which have been grown on rapidly in artificial conditions in a greenhouse.

Postage & Delivery

Plants will be removed from the pot, carefully packed & then sent in secure cardboard packaging to protect them whilst in the postal system. I offer a postage discount for multiple purchases dispatched to the same address. When you buy more than one item you will pay the full postage cost for the first item only, then a discounted rate for each extra item purchased (please see 'postage and payments' tab above for full details). I use Royal Mail for small orders whilst orders over 2kg will be sent by carrier so the MAXIMUM postage you pay need only be £9.95 for any amount of plants. Highland, Island & Offshore delivery addresses may incur additional charges.

PLEASE NOTE - Plants will be dispatched by Royal Mail on the Monday to Thursday following receipt of cleared funds (to avoid plants sitting in the sorting depot over the weekend) and by carrier on the Monday to Wednesday. 

Thanks for looking!
