Kniphofia fulva??

The exact identity of "Kniphofia fulva" remains uncertain, as the catalogue's own question mark suggests; no reliable botanical source could be found to confirm this name during research. The genus Kniphofia, native to southern and eastern Africa, comprises rhizomatous perennials forming clumps of narrow, linear, arching leaves resembling those of an iris or grass. Tall flowering stems rise from the clump bearing a dense spike of tubular, pendent flowers in shades of red, orange, yellow or cream, in summer. These plants require a sunny position, well-drained but moisture-retentive soil, and tolerate a winter rest.
