Bush Inferno Kangaroo Paw 140MM

Anigozanthos hybrid 'Bush Inferno'

I am Bush Inferno Kangaroo Paw. My family originated from South Western Australia.

Habit Strappy - Bird attracting
Plant family Haemodoraceae
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.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
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
