I have Kniphofia uvaria "flamenco" and I am interested in your calgary daffodil. PLMK Kathy

I am about to divide my red hot pokers and am interested in both your blue and your white agapanthus (lily of the Nile). How tall do they get? Please check my list and see if there is another plant you want. Thanks, Susan

I am looking for a few plants, Lily of the Nile, (Agapanthus), Red Hot Pokers (kniphofia) & a Kousa Dogwood. Please look at my trade list and let me know if you would like to trade. Thanks, Pat

Full sun, well amended soil with lots of compost when planting in pure sand such as the Sunset district, and at least regular garden irrigation in the dry months. They typically get summer rainfall in their South African mountainside habitat, where many grow at high elevations stream side. They can be relatively drought tolerant in heavier clay soils that are much more water retentive. There is considerable variation in plant size, flower color and type, and season of bloom. Check out Kniphofia thompsonii for something distinctly different and a longer blooming season. Annie's Annuals nursery out in Richmond, California has a particularly good selection of species Kniphofia, and I can recommend the cultivar 'Winter Cheer' if you like them 5 foot tall in bloom for December and January.
