- 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 burgundy flowers during spring. I am a great cut flower
- My long lived blooms attract honey eaters and other small nectar feeding birds
- I do well in most soils but thrive in sandy soils. Hardy I tolerate extremes of temperature
I am a smaller growing kangaroo paw with prolific deep burgundy blooms. My flowers are borne in clusters above slender, strap-like foliage. Unique to Australia I have evolved to be pollinated by small birds for which I am a magnet. My blooms are similar in shape to a kangaroos paw and give the visiting birds a face fully pollen while they retrieve their nectar reward from deep in my bloom when performing their pollination duties. I enjoy free draining and sandy soils but perform well in most soils. I am just as happy as a container plant as I am planted out in the garden. My blooms are long lived and I make a great cut flower.
