The playful colours of dwarf Red Hot Poker 'Traffic Lights' will stop you in your tracks with their unusual red, amber and green blooms! The torch-like flower spikes are carried on sturdy stems above evergreen strappy foliage. This is a tough and reliable perennial, perfect for low maintenance borders and the blooms make an impressive cut flower too. These plants flower in the first year from sowing, adding interest to borders and containers. Sow February to June or September to October on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed compost in pots or trays. Cover seed with a light sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Keep at a temperature of between 15-20C (59-68F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination can take 14-30 days. When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3 inch)pots or trays. Gradually acclimatise young plants to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 30cm (12 inches) apart.
