Amber Velvet™ Kangaroo Paw 180MM

Anigozanthos hybrid 'Amber Velvet™'

I am Amber Velvet™ Kangaroo Paw. My family originated from South Western Australia.

Habit Strappy - Bird attracting
Plant family Haemodoraceae
I am a vigorous medium sized Kangaroo Paw with large bright yellow/orange flowers with stunning velvety red bases. My long lived blooms appear in spring and early summer. I am great planted in the garden and am just as happy growing in pots/containers. I am hardy in most well drained soils. I am a long lived cut flower. I do best in full sun and am tolerant of some shade. My blooms will attract small nectar feeding birds from far and wide.
