But they will cool down as the weather gets colder.

 

Ideal time for planting perennials.:gnthb:

 

Lovely plants
This is one that flowers now in September

 

can you plant red hot pokers uder grass so they come up through the grass ? also would you be able to plant lupins that way to ?

 

Presumably you mean lawn grass? I wouldn't recommend it, especially for lupins. Grass is fast growing and could choke/smother the emerging plant in Spring (lupins are herbaceous perennials and 'disappear' under the soil, in effect hibernating over winter). Red hot pokers probably would do better as their leaves are tougher, but you'd be giving yourself a whole load of extra work doing that, especially to keep the gras around the plant at a reasonable length or if you needed to dig the plant up for dividing purposes.
