Let’s be honest. Plants with unusual shapes and colors add significant interest and depth to your garden. There is certainly nothing wrong with growing classic rose bushes, but why not also add these odd but stunning flowers to your landscape this summer.

We’ve provided four of our favorites with each in a vibrant shade and texture:

Red Hot Poker Plant (Kniphofia)

It’s not difficult to see how this amazing flower got its name. The elegant plant comes from South Africa and features two-toned flower spikes of cylindrical form in red and yellow that resemble a hot poker. These long, tall beauties thrive in full sun, well-drained soil and hardiness zones 6 to 9. They also allure hummingbirds and butterflies to your garden with their vibrant flowers and sweet nectar.
