red-hot poker

Red-Hot Poker (Kniphofia 'Lemon Popsicle') should be watered once per week, making sure the soil is evenly moist but not soggy. During its active growing season in the spring and summer, you may need to water more frequently, especially during dry spells. The soil should be allowed to dry slightly between waterings. In the fall and winter months, water less often but still at regular intervals. Make sure the soil remains slightly damp during this season.

Red-hot poker (Kniphofia 'Lemon Popsicle') is a sun-loving perennial plant that needs full sun to thrive. This plant prefers 8-10 hours of direct sunlight each day. It prefers a sunny site in the garden and does best when the sunlight is consistent (not blocked by shadows several hours of the day). In temperate climates, the best time of day for Red-hot poker to receive sunlight is usually in the morning hours before mid-day when the sun is not as hot. In more tropical climates, the Red-hot poker may receive full sunlight throughout the day.

Pruning of Kniphofia 'Lemon Popsicle' (red-hot poker) should be done in late winter or early spring, before the new growth starts. Cut off any dead or damaged leaves and stems near the soil level to encourage healthy new growth. Remove any crowded or drooping stems to promote air circulation between the plants. Trim off any flowers that have already bloomed and faded. If desired, cut back the foliage at a steep angle to keep them looking neat and tidy. Pruning should be minimal, allowing enough room for the plant to remain attractive throughout the season.
