Kniphofia ‘Rocket Jr.’ (Red Hot Poker)
Kniphofia hybrid ‘Rocket Jr.’ may be compact in size, but its fiery blooms pack serious color power. Each conical flower spike blazes with deep red-orange tones that fade to a glowing golden tip — a dazzling display that continues from early summer through frost. The upright, grass-like foliage stays neat and tidy as new blooms rise continuously through the season. Perfect for the front of sunny borders, mixed beds, or container plantings, this dwarf Red Hot Poker brings bold color and nonstop energy to any landscape.
Why It’s a Creekside Champion:
We love ‘Rocket Jr.’ for its intense bloom color, compact form, and nonstop flowering that keeps the garden vibrant from summer to fall.
