Kniphofia ‘Lemon Popsicle’
Kniphofia 'Lemon Popsicle' is a dwarf red hot poker with torches of yellow tubular flowers and grass-like foliage.
Kniphofia ‘Lemon Popsicle’ is a dwarf red hot poker perfect for smaller gardens and containers. Its sturdy flower scapes display torch-like, lemon-yellow, tropical-looking, tubular flowers above tufted clumps of narrow, grass-like foliage. Long-blooming from early summer to early fall with spikes 18-26 inches tall on plants up to 14 inches wide. Use for drama, vertical appeal and textural contrast in the middle of the border or in the pollinator garden, as a specimen or focal point in the border or in a container, and for cut flowers. Prefers hot, dry conditions, but needs watering when blooming and fast draining soil. Drought tolerant once established. Virtually disease free. Popular with hummingbirds and other pollinators. Deer and rabbit resistant.
