Here is Callie's pic:
Ah,  very pretty!
Yes, I do recognize that Callie,
it is Kniphofia Uvaria ("Red-Hot Poker Plant"),
definitely a keeper!
They need to be in full sun to grow and bloom well,
so the clearing out that your SIL did may have really helped,
and it may have also provided some much needed root space.
They aren't picky about soil types, except that
it should be well-drained,
otherwise crown rot can occur.
They can survive periods of drought,
but will do better if they get water during hot, dry weather.
Kniphofia can form large colonies over time.
