Kniphofia Poco™ Orange

Common Name: Poco™ Orange Red Hot Poker

Description:
Kniphofia Poco™ Orange is a compact, clump-forming perennial prized for its vibrant orange flower spikes that rise above its narrow, grass-like foliage. Flowering from late spring through autumn, its tubular blooms attract bees, butterflies, and birds, adding movement and colour to the garden. This drought-tolerant and low-maintenance plant is perfect for borders, rockeries, and container planting. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, Poco™ Orange prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Regular deadheading will promote continuous flowering, while occasional division helps maintain vigour.
