‘Rocket Jr.’ Kniphofia | Creekside Champions™

Ember orange spikes that fade to golden yellow with a bright parakeet-yellow tip.

'Rocket Jr.' Kniphofia is a compact perennial grown for bold, vertical color, sending up continuous flower spikes that bring heat and movement to sunny borders and containers.

What You'll Use It For

A strong pick when you want vertical color that stands out without taking over.

• Adding height and movement to sunny beds
• Creating a focal point with flame-like blooms
• Brightening containers with warm, high-contrast color
• Pairing with purples or blues for contrast
• Filling front-of-border spaces with structure and repeat color

Why Lazy Leaf Loves It

Creekside Champions are selected for beauty, resilience, and proven garden performance.

Most bold summer blooms come and go. This keeps sending up new spikes. The color reads hot and saturated without washing out in sun, and the compact size makes it easier to place where you actually need it. It stays tidy, keeps blooming, and doesn't overwhelm the space.
