Professional Growing Information I tried 4 of these Pyromania™ 'Backdraft' - Red Hot Poker plants last year, and now I'm hooked! They were hardy bloomers in different light conditions (seemed to have equal blooms in Part Sun vs. Full Sun - they are not fussy), produced gorgeous & durable flowering stems ('pokers') virtually all growing season, and were my best garden purchase last season. I received many compliments from backyard visitors about this particular plant (previously, folks would give comments on the gardens overall rather than being drawn to this unique and beautiful plant). As my new puppy pulled a couple out of the ground in winter months, I've already ordered more this year -- I really loved them!
