Kniphofia ‘Poco Citron’ is a vibrant, compact selection from the popular POCO™ series, prized for its dense, upright flower spikes and citrusy color transitions. Buds emerge creamy lime-green, shift to fresh lemon, then canary-yellow, and finally fade to a soft butter crème, creating a dynamic, long-lasting display.
Its grassy, upright foliage provides a striking architectural base for the blooms, making it perfect as a feature in borders, containers, or mass plantings. Blooming from summer through fall, ‘Poco Citron’ delivers repeated color and is low-maintenance once established.
Ideal for sunny gardens, container displays, and drought-tolerant landscapes, this compact red hot poker adds texture, color, and movement wherever it’s planted.
