The story

Torch lily, pocket size.

Short, stocky spikes of tubular flowers in red fading to orange, over grassy blue-green leaves. It reblooms through summer and hummingbirds treat it like a filling station.

Light

Full sun. Shade means few flowers.

Water

Regular water in summer while blooming; dry in winter.

Planting

Plant in spring so it roots in before winter. Set the crown at or slightly above the soil line in gritty or sandy soil.

All the punch of a red hot poker in a size that fits a pot or the front of a bed.
