Overview

Tritoma Red Hot Poker seeds 0.3g is supplied for home growing. Growing to around 80–100 cm tall, Tritoma makes a strong statement in the garden and also works beautifully as a cut flower for bold summer arrangements.

Key Features

• Young plants can be planted outdoors in July to August, giving them time to establish before winter. Space plants around 40 x 50 cm apart to allow room for their tall flower spikes to develop.
• Tritoma is a dramatic and low-maintenance perennial that brings bold colour and structure to the garden. Its tall, torch-like flower spikes make it a standout feature in borders, while the bright blooms attract butterflies and other pollinators.
• It pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses, lavender, sage and other sun-loving perennials, creating a natural yet vibrant garden display.
• Tritoma is also a good choice for cut flowers, adding unusual shape and strong summer colour to floral arrangements.

Sowing Instructions

• Sow Tritoma seeds under cover in spring, using well-prepared, moist seed compost. The seeds need light to help with germination, so keep the surface bright and avoid covering too heavily.

Growing Conditions and Care

• Tritoma, also known as Red Hot Poker, is a striking perennial flower with tall orange and yellow flower spikes that look like glowing torches in the garden. This eye-catching plant is ideal for adding height, colour and drama to flower beds, borders, wildlife-friendly gardens and planting schemes around ponds or water features.
• Plant spacing: 40 x 50 cm
• Plant at a depth of approximately 1.5 cm and keep the soil evenly moist, but not waterlogged. Overwatering should be avoided, as this may cause seeds to rot.
