Is This Red Hot Poker?
Monday, June 4th, 2007Ask the Expert: Red Hot Poker or Weed?
I bought a packet of Red Hot Poker seeds last year and planted them in fresh clean compost in a greenhouse around last July. The packet says Tritoma Mixed Hybrids. They appeared slowly, taking around 6 weeks to germinate and by winter, they were still only about 2 or 3 inches tall. By March this year they were about 5 inches tall. The photos shown were taken last month, they were about 8 to 10 inches tall. (They are now about 12 to 16 inches and still no flower)
