Good Qualities
Year 1
Color (3); Unusual flower; None; Flower first year from seed/plug. Nice kniphofia flower; Well established. Plants look excellent. Easy to grow, kept flowering all summer.
Year 2
Easy (2); Prolific (I counted 50 stems off of one plant); Color; None; Prolific flower and flowers are unusual; Blooms first year from seed.
Problems
Year 1
Difficult to market (3); The flowers spike tends to bend if it isn’t stored upright; I’ve grown this one before and had problems with it making it through the winter. I’ve had about 65% survival rate.
Year 2
Hard to sell, people just don’t know what to do with them; I would like to try this again and see if we can do better. It should survive here but doesn’t seem to do that well; Not very saleable – very ugly; Just another Kniphofia – limited market appeal, flowers look old very quickly – ragged look.

Comments
Year 1
Customers really like the ones I brought to market. Hard to know when to cut these guys. Too soon and they wilted. I liked them though and hope they make it through the winter; Good cultivar if you want to grow kniphofia.
Year 2
Retail florist ask for this often; Not a significant improvement.
