DESCRIPTION

Kniphofia 'Papaya Popsicle' is a compact, repeat-blooming perennial prized for its vibrant, papaya-orange flower spikes that rise above grassy foliage from early summer into fall. This dwarf red hot poker adds a bold splash of tropical-looking color to sunny borders, rock gardens, and container displays. It's easy to grow, drought-tolerant once established, and attracts hummingbirds and butterflies, making it a low-maintenance, high-impact choice for gardeners.

PLANTING & CARE

Plant in full sun for best flowering. Prefers average to sandy, well-drained soil and is drought tolerant once established. Water regularly during the first growing season. Deadhead spent flower stalks to encourage repeat blooming. Cut back foliage in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.
