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.
