Description

Papaya Popsicle Dwarf Poker is a vibrant, sun-loving perennial that brings a tropical punch of color to compact spaces. Its flower spikes are a luscious, warm papaya-orange that holds its hue beautifully as the florets open from the bottom up. Blooming from early summer into fall, it provides a remarkably long season of bright color. Its neat, grassy clump of foliage and short, sturdy flower stems make it an outstanding choice for containers, the front of sunny borders, or mass plantings where its cheerful blooms can shine.

  • Vibrant Papaya-Orange Flower Spikes: Bears dense spikes of rich, warm orange flowers that maintain consistent color.

  • Extended Summer-to-Fall Bloom Time: Flowers continuously over many weeks, providing reliable color during the hottest months.

  • Dwarf & Well-Proportioned: Forms a tidy, compact clump perfect for today's smaller gardens and decorative containers.

  • Heat & Drought Tolerant: Thrives in full sun and heat, requiring minimal water once its root system is established.

  • Deer Resistant & Easy Care: The foliage and flowers are typically avoided by deer, and the plant requires no special attention beyond deadheading.

A: Plant in full sun and well-drained soil. Regular deadheading of the entire spent flower spike will encourage the plant to produce new flower stems throughout the season.

A: Absolutely. Its compact size and long bloom season make it an ideal "thriller" plant for summer container combinations. Ensure the pot has good drainage.
