- I am a unique Australian native, just as happy in large pots and containers as I am planted out in the garden
- I produce masses of velvety red flowers mostly in spring. I am a great cut flower
- My long lived blooms attract honey eaters and other small nectar feeding birds
- I thrive in full sun and tolerate partial shade
- Fertilise me regularly and cut back spent flowers to keep me looking at my best
I am a compact medium sized Kangaroo Paw that forms a good sized clump.
I produce bold red large flower heads, mainly in spring and summer and spot flower at other times.
I am excellent at attracting birds to the garden
I make a great and long lived cut flower.
I enjoy hot Mediterranean climates and am not as vigorous in humid climates where I do better when grown in pots.
I will perform at my best if you feed me before flowering with a quality slow release fertiliser.
Removing spent flowers and foliage at the base will improve my appearance and improve airflow from which I will benefit.
