Toast the start of the season with Rise & Shine™ Mango Mimosa Red Hot Poker, a radiant perennial bred to bloom up to two weeks earlier than traditional Red Hot Pokers. Tall, torch-like flower spikes emerge from dark buds and open into glowing shades of coppery orange, delivering instant warmth and movement just as the garden comes alive. The color progression gives each spike a lively, layered look that stands out from afar.
Slightly shorter than its sister variety 'Citrus Sunrise,' Rise & Shine™ Mango Mimosa Red Hot Poker, making it an ideal choice for the middle of sunny borders. Wider-than-average, grass-like foliage creates a lush base that looks attractive even when the plant is between bloom cycles. Reliable rebloom ensures color continues well into summer, extending its value beyond a single burst of flowers.
Native to South Africa and beloved by pollinators, this torch lily blends bold structure with durability. Hummingbirds are especially drawn to the nectar-rich blooms, while gardeners appreciate its drought tolerance once established and modern, refined habit. For early-season color, vertical drama, and tropical flair without the fuss, Rise & Shine™ Mango Mimosa Red Hot Poker delivers a garden-worthy celebration.
