Description
The collection consists of:
- x 1 'Banana Popsicle' Kniphofia: yellow flowers with a hint of orange.
- x 1 'Mango Popsicle' Kniphofia: flowers in shades of orange to golden yellow.
- x 1 'Papaya Popsicle' Kniphofia: flowers in shades of red, bright orange, and yellow.
The 'Popsicle' Kniphofia is a perennial with fleshy rhizomes, whose above-ground vegetation dries up in winter and reappears in spring. Its foliage reaches a height of 45 cm. The inflorescences rise to 60-70 cm and are nectar-rich. Each plant occupies about 60-70 cm of ground after 3-4 years of cultivation. 3 plants cover an area of about 1 m² after 4-5 years of cultivation. 'Popsicle' Kniphofias adapt to any well-drained soil, not too dry in summer, and tolerate very cold winters, to -20 °C.
You can plant the Kniphofias from this collection in a flower bed with garden valerians, blue, white, or red shrubby salvias. You can create a small contrasting scene with Penstemon Husker Red, 'Anthemis tinctoria Sauce Hollandaise', and Nepeta Purrsian Blue. The 'Popsicle' red-hot pokers can also be placed along the edge of a lawn or pathway, mixing the colours, and intermingling them with small agapanthus or dwarf cannas like 'Confetti' or 'Louis Cottin' to create an exotic atmosphere.

Planting and care
Plant the 'Popsicle' Kniphofia in a very sunny location in well-drained soil. In very clayey soil, you will add 1/3 of coarse gravel and 1/3 of topsoil to the soil in your garden. Kniphofia, although very robust, does not tolerate excess water in winter. It may be necessary to plant it on a small mound or slope to avoid any excess stagnant water, especially in very cold regions.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
