Caring for Torch Lilies or Red Hot Poker (with all updates)

[@yose6418]

I appreciate the effort that you put into making this: 1 year of filming in the same video. It's nice to see it all at once, instead of doing separate videos.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Appreciate it

[@gogodaddy1]

Great video! I started some from seed last year and they’re just blooming for the first time now. I really appreciate that your video showed life for a full year, and not just at planting or blooming times. Thank you so much, make more please.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

I am glad it was helpful

[@judyrocha1590]

Such beautiful flowers😁

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Yes they are and they are blooming right now

[@TamanthaFord-kj5oi]

These are so gorgeous. I have a plant I started a few years back, but I think it’s a little overcrowded in the area and seeing this lets me know I need to move it. Thank you!!!! I love this plant so much.

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Go for it!

This is the most informative video for this plant 👍 I have this in my garden (England UK) for a couple of years, its just finished flowering and I was wondering what to do as I just left it last year until winter when I just cut of the flower heads, it did flower again this year but the leaves are looking bedragled ... now I know what to do so it will look tidier next year 👍 Thank you so much for the tutorial. It's a shame we don't have Humming birds in this country 😒 Thank you again.

Glad it was helpful!

@dennistherocker You should consider dividing your Red Hot Poker plants. You can place in other sunny areas of your garden or pot them up and move them around in your garden when they are in bloom to see were you and the plant likes to be. Another mention is they look striking next to Shasta Daisies, lavender and Crosomia. Crosomia is another Hummingbird magnet. I wish you could enjoy the hummingbirds, they are territorial birds. I wish we had red Cardinals. We have a lot of Blue Jays. I get mesmerized by plants, nature & wild life. ❤from the Great Pacific Northwest; Zone 8b

Hi, thank you so much for the video. It’s so informative. I saw these at a camp and it took me forever to find out what they were called , they’re gorgeous and I want to plant them in my area and it’s the right zone. My question is, I see that you were talking about the seeds and where they were located where it was dry, but how do I do that if I want the seed so I can plant more. I intend to buy a couple of these that are rooted and alive and then I want to propagate them. Can you give me any information on how I would do that. I have fallen in love with gardening and I am trying so hard to keep everything alive. Usually, I don’t have luck with it, but I’m trying to take the time and learn about the plants that I am planting , this is my dream plant and I really want to know how I can get seeds from the ones that I’m going to get and plant more and how I go about doing that any information you can give me is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much. The hummingbird was gorgeous. Your garden was gorgeous. Thank you so much for sharing so much knowledge, may God bless you 😃

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

If you plant some bulbs, they will automatically multiply and you can separate them. I have never collected their seeds but you can let one flower stalk dry on the plant and that should develop seeds.

[@karinbook5020]

Oh, your torch lillies are lovely. So tall! And the hummingbirds!

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Yup

[@lunaspothead8200]

Beautiful plant

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Yes it is

[@tinadavis9329]

I’ve got a red hot poker I’ve planted in the grass I’ve had 4 blooms on it I’m hoping it will get bigger and bigger next year thanks for sharing this video I wished mine was as big as yours x

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

It will expand over time

[@NiimbarkJyoti6483]

So beautiful ❤

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Isn't it

[@marciloni12]

That was a nice intro 😂❤ I have 3 flowering in my backyard ❤

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Wow nice

[@2orangekittygirlz]

Thank you! Should you trim back the leaves of the plant in the fall or wait until spring? (I live in California)

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

I am in zone 9 and I do trim them down because they do get messy with frost

[@gregellis6353]

Thank you

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

You're welcome

[@totallydomestic433]

If you cut the dry ones, can you harvest the seeds?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Yes, but the plants grown from seeds may not bloom for a few years. Best is to dig up the bulbs and divide them.

[@tomahawky1]

Very nice, thank you so much!

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Thank you too!

[@NvrGoATM]

I just bought my mom some of these

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Awesome mother's day gift

[@janethunoway6859]

Is it beneficial to the plant to divide it when it gets large?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Yes because it gets more space, more nutrients

[@manishhkr]

Can they be grown in Zone 11?

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Yes

[@kattycat33ncali]

I have the red hot pokers mine are not as tall as yours are and yours they are beautiful

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

Thank you

[@totallydomestic433]

I just planted 7, can’t wait for them to bloom. Zone 9b

[@EasyPeasyGardening]

All the best
