Anyone ever tried these? I have 2 going on yr. #3. Blooms are not that great so far but they really have a great clumping form. something a little different.

I get more cats on the tropical milkweeds than on the hardy swamp milkweed.

They always eat the tropical down to nubs so I have to buy seeds every year.


I meant to post this on the tropical milkweed thread.
Sorry :oops:

Never before have so few with so much promised to take away so much from so many and then laugh their asses off as the so many with so little vote for the so few with so much.

Torch lily? Had to look that up: kniphofia. I know them more as red-hot pokers, although most of the ones on the market are all yellow!

Thinking about putting these in my newest bed that features some out-of-control shrubs and perennials.
