Kniphofia Plants

Kniphofia plants produce flowerheads that can reach a thrilling 5-foot in height and though the leaves are similar to a lily, the blooms Kniphofia produces do not resemble that delicate flower at all. Hummingbirds absolutely LOVE this plant.

Kniphofia, pronounced nip-HOFF-ee-uh, uvaria is also commonly known as the Red Hot Poker due to the shape and appearance of its blossoms. Also called Torch Lily, the Flame Flower or Tritoma there are many varieties in widely varying shades of red, orange and yellow. Most gardeners recommend growing Knifhofia in front of an evergreen background or where the whole plant can be seen in order to take full advantage of the dramatic display. They are extremely drought tolerant so becoming ever more popular with gardeners who wish to conserve water.

You’ll want to leave the foliage for winter protection, mulching the base in colder climates, but cut the foliage back to 3-inches in the spring. Deadheading is believed to increase the number of blossoms.

Creamsicle Kniphofia Plant

Price $7.50

The 'Creamsicle' Kniphofia Plant is one of the Popsicle™ Series produced by Terra Nova Nurseries, Inc. that were bred not only for smaller spaces, but for their extended bloom time. This Torch Lily, or Red Hot Poker, as some refer to them, is purely reminiscent of the "dreamsicle creamsicles" of old—you know…those yummy, orange, sherbet popsicles with vanilla ice cream inside? This dwarf variety is sure to fit somewhere in your garden and is well-worth having! This is the color of summer!

Flamenco Kniphofia Plant

Price $5.80

The 'Flamenco' Kniphofia Plant is the "new and improved" version of an old favorite. This Torch Lily blooms in its first year and if you were to turn the flower spikes upside down, the colors closely resemble that of a Tequila Sunrise, starting a creamy yellow at the bottom and progressing up the spire to shades of orange and then red. Flamenco was an All-America Selections Winner in 1999.

Mango Popsicle Kniphofia Plant

Price $7.50

The 'Mango Popsicle' Kniphofia Plant is another of the Popsicle™ Series produced by Terra Nova Nurseries, Inc. Bred to fit in smaller spaces and for an extended blooming period, this Torch Lily is the exact shade of Mmmmm-Mango! Considered a dwarf variety, the short grassy foliage will not overpower your other flowers’ foliage, though the Mango-colored Red Hot Poker blossoms may rise far above on their sturdy 30-inch stems. These are the perfect tall accent for your cut arrangements!

Papaya Popsicle Kniphofia Plant

Price $7.50

No one person can have enough of the Popsicle™ Series from Terra Nova and the 'Papaya Popsicle' Kniphofia Plant just goes to prove it. First introduced in 2010, this dwarf Torch Lily was bred to fit in smaller spaces and to provide gorgeous color throughout an extended blooming season. Papaya Popsicle is a Red Hot Poker with a twist! This prolific bloomer bears flower spikes the exact same color as perfectly ripe papayas. Can’t you just taste them?

Pineapple Popsicle Kniphofia Plant

Price $7.50

The breeders from Terra Nova Nurseries have expanded their Popsicle™ Series with the 'Pineapple Popsicle' Kniphofia Plant. Having the same dwarf habits and extended bloom-time as others in the Popsicle Series, the Pineapple Popsicle Torch Lily is just a bit different, lacking that wild-red coloration at the top of the flower spire, so common on Red Hot Pokers, opting instead for a pleasing rosy blush. The prolific blooms will blend well with just about any color you can find in the garden, which means it will also complement your cut flower arrangements. Sweet!
