Flamenco Mix Red Hot Poker is a dramatic semi-evergreen upright perennial with coarse dark green lance leaves. The thick showy spikes sport flowers that start yellow and may stay yellow or turn fiery shades of orange or red, creating a mixture of yellow, orange, and red flowers throughout summer. Best color in full sun and rich well-drained soil. Flamenco is noted for blooming in its first year.
