Kniphofia ‘Papaya Popsicle’


Popsicle Series Torchlily

USDA Zone: 6-9

Also known as Pokers, these are easy to grow in the sunny garden so long as the soil is well-drained, particularly in winter. This compact selection was bred to fit in small spaces. Plants form a mound of grassy, evergreen leaves with taller stems bearing flower spikes the colour of ripe papayas, summer through fall. Stems are wonderful for cutting. Attractive to hummingbirds. Drought tolerant, once established. A 2010 introduction in the Popsicle™ series from Terra Nova Nurseries of Oregon. USPP#22915: unlicensed propagation prohibited. Registered with COPF.
