Kniphofia plant named ‘Amazing Fun’

#Botanical designation: Kniphofia hybrida.

#Cultivar denomination: ‘AMAZING FUN’.

#The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Kniphofia plant, botanically known as Kniphofia hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Amazing Fun’.

#The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Kniphofia plant showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Kniphofia plant.

#The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Amazing Fun’ grown in a container.

#The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Amazing Fun’.

#The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in containers during the late summer in an outdoor nursery in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands under cultural practices which approximate commercial production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 14° C. to 28° C. and night temperatures ranged from 8° C. to 16° C. Plants were two years old when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
