I think the bright hot orange colours from this Mango Popsicle Kniphofia go well with the brown crisp and scorched foliage of the crocosmia Lucifer in the background, don’t you? 😂🤣 - well I have to make a positive out of it somehow! #colourcombo #scorchio #howtocookyourplants

I see no problem with this at all... matches a lot in my garden right now! Advice please also... in the autumn, what do you do with Kniphofia? Do you just leave them of cut all foliage down? Thanks Rich

@justin cut the dead flower stalks tight back and any damaged or dead foliage but leaving the rest of the foliage will protect the crown of the plant😊

Wonderful! It’s the in thing at the moment for sure, but don’t tell everyone as they’ll steal my design ideas 🤫🤣 @rachelbrooks

Hey Justin - for this one, I just leave it be for the winter and then tidy it up a bit in spring where the leaves have gone brown. On another one I used to chop the foliage back but I’ve got lazy in my old age and it’s been left but does equally as well. So not sure if there is any benefit or not other than cosmetically over winter @justin @kathy - I’ll have a look in my books to see what is generally recommended

richard.spicer.7906

Well I guess these wouldn’t work in drought conditions then Annette? 😂 my own fault, I should have kept a better eye on them @Annettenoosa

To be fair mine have just been left as well and they’ve done ok so just wanted to check I wasn’t meant to be doing something other!!! Thank you 🙌🏼

Is this a compact variety do you know?

Hey Leigh, it's definitely not a big one so good for small spots. Mine grows to around 3ft tall, and hasn't spread that much @Puddings_pies

Hope you are all enjoying your week GT folks. I'm gonna spend the whole weekend catching up on what you've been up to. May even get in the garden if the rain stays away 😉 - here's some rays of sunshine for you all - Kniphofia 'Mango Popsicle' taken in September. Nice little variety and will give lots of great late summer/earlier autumn colour - another new one for the garden. #kniphofia #redhotpoker #kniphofiamangopopsicle
