Kniphofia 'Orange Vanilla Popsicle' - 2026

Kniphofia 'Orange Vanilla Popsicle' is a compact, clump-forming perennial from the Popsicle series, admired for its showy bicolour flowers. The upright flower spikes are packed with glowing orange buds that open to reveal creamy white, vanilla-toned bases, creating a striking two-toned effect that stands out in summer borders and containers. Its grassy, narrow foliage forms neat mounds that provide an attractive backdrop to the vertical flowers, adding texture and structure even when not in bloom.

This variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it well-suited to mixed borders, gravel gardens, and cottage-style plantings. It blooms from midsummer into early autumn, providing long-lasting colour and nectar for pollinators. 'Orange Vanilla Popsicle' is drought-tolerant once established, low-maintenance, and ideal for smaller gardens thanks to its compact size. Its combination of fiery tones and soft creamy contrast ensures it makes a lively and decorative contribution to planting schemes.
