One of my favorite plants!

Kniphofia northiae last summer (first year)

Kniphofia northiae today

Looks fried right? Well, it looked much worse two weeks ago. As soon as high temperatures reached the 60s, 70s and 80s of the past two weeks, it started growing by greening up in the center and pushing up new leaves. Great plant! May not be evergreen in zone 6 but it did survive below zero temperatures here. Looks like it could be a monster this year!
