Plant information
Plant Description
Kniphofia ‘Poco Orange’ is easy to grow as long as you plant it in well-drained soil, especially in winter. Kniphofia produces masses of marmalade orange flowers that bloom throughout the summer. Perfect for the front of the border or for planting in pots and containers. Hardy so will only need protection should we have very severe frost. Loved by bees.
Perennials thrives in full sun—around six hours a day. While it can tolerate light shade, you’ll get the best flowering in bright, open spots.
It prefers well-drained soil, ideally sandy or chalky. Rich or heavy soils can cause the plant to flop and reduce flower production.
Water well during the first growing season to help it establish. Once settled, Achillea is drought-tolerant and rarely needs extra water unless it’s extremely dry.
Not much at all. In fact, too much fertiliser—especially nitrogen—can lead to more leaves and fewer flowers. A light feed in spring is plenty, if needed.
Yes—regularly remove faded flowers to encourage more blooms and stop self-seeding. You can cut the plant back in autumn or early spring to tidy it up and boost new growth.
Divide clumps every 3 to 5 years in spring or autumn to keep them healthy and vigorous. You can also take soft cuttings in spring.
Very much so. Once it’s established, it copes brilliantly in dry conditions, making it perfect for sunny borders and gravel gardens.
Achillea is generally low-maintenance, but it can occasionally suffer from aphids or powdery mildew—especially in humid or overcrowded spots. Good airflow and spacing usually prevent problems.
