Back to Summer Flowering Bulbs

The red hot poker needs no introduction, though the modern sorts might. Cream, lemon, amber, coral, the old scarlet: neater plants than their reputation, flowering June to September. Watch the bees queue on the spikes. Sun, and winter drainage above all; a wet crown is the one reliable killer. Established clumps go on for decades. Cut a few spikes for the house, a bold vase if ever there was one.

      The bulbs supplied by Bloms cost the most, gave the most flowers (26), were of top quality and had the potential of doubling themselves next year. The trials indicated that you get what you pay for.
