An exotic looking but nonetheless relatively hardy perennial this Kniphofia is a vibrant orange-yellow resembling the colours of a ripe papaya. Common names for these plants are the Torch Lily and Red-Hot Poker. All 3 names are understandable as they really do look like burning torches or pokers freshly drawn from the fire - they will certainly add some visual heat to your planting. Kniphofia Papaya Popsicle is a clump-forming evergreen with graceful arching dark green leaves and sturdy, uprights flower spikes carried from Summer through to Autumn. More compact than its taller cousins it will reach a height and spread of 50cm and is best in full sun but will tolerate partial shade too. Ideally suited to a fertile, loam or sandy soil it looks great in any kind of garden and is low maintenance as you will only need to tidy the faded leaves in Spring and remove the flower spikes once they have faded.
