Kniphofia uvaria | Little Maid annual Lasts well in a vaseKniphofia "Little Maid" is a winter dormant perennial that has slender spikes of cream flowers that open from soft lemon buds that ascend from above the green grass like foliage. These impressive little plants also make a great cut flower. Kniphofias once established are particularly drought tolerant but do like good drainage, so sandy soils are also fine. Happy growing in either full sun or partial shade. They are particularly hardy and don't mind
