Bush Tenacity Kangaroo Paw 140MM

Anigozanthos hybrid 'Rambocity' (Bush Tenacity)

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

Habit Strappy - Bird attracting
Plant family Haemodoraceae
I am a delightful smaller kangaroo paw hybrid with red flower stems and bright yellow medium sized flowers. 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 kangaroo's paw and give the visiting birds a face full of pollen when they retrieve their nectar reward from deep inside my bloom when performing their pollination duties. I enjoy a sunny location and free draining, 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. I will benefit from an annual application of a quality slow release fertiliser. When mass planted I create stunning impact. My blooms are long lived and I make a great cut flower.
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 bright yellow with red tinges velvety flowers in spring, summer and autumn. I am a great cut flower
My long lived blooms attract honey eaters and other small nectar feeding birds
