Will This Flower Again

[chefmateo]

My wife bought this while we were on vacation in New Mexico last summer. I made a succulent planting for her with this included in the group. It wasn't wintered & some of it has died back..specifically the long cat tail like flowers that drew her attention in the first place. My question is: if the bulk of the grasses that surrounded the long flowering stalks is still there..will they grow back & potentially flower again? Second photo is its current state. Thanks in advance for your help.

Edit: sorry about the original title..I was from an earlier post.

I was talking with the Sorceress about this Easter Lilly, and how we grow em and buy em for the flower than throw em out.

What a waste of energy!

It's a perennial. It will bloom at different times in different zones, give a chance.

I forget the name pf this plant, do you still have the tag? I've seen it before, and it is either related to Aloe or to Yucca. I believe each rosette of leaves, or clump of leaves comes from a single bulb or rhizome. I believe each cluster of leaves flowers only once. In the second photo you have 3 separate looking clusters of flowers. I believe either this year or next year, once they gain enough strength, each cluster of leaves will flower. So next time it flowers you should get 2 or 3 flower stalks. I'm not sure they flower every year, but they will reflower when they have built up enough sugar and starches in their underground rhizome.

Looks like a variety of Kniphophaea- Red hot poker, a hardy herbaceous perennial so comes up every year. Grows in old English cottage gardens and in coastal areas- my Gran used to grow them in the cold north east of England so theyre very tough.

Each time I asked the UBC forums, I had a quick, useful answer.

It's the best site I've found so far for identification of a "non-bonsai plant".

British Columbia's the best

For cactuses (cacti?) and succulents, a French site is my reference. Different, reliable sources for different problems, that's much better.

Yes thats the variety / cultivar name on the label - not the species!

Kniphofia, Red Hot Poker as it is called. It will come back, and your climate is mild enough for it to be perennial.
