Bush Merlot Kangaroo Paw 140MM

I am grown for my unique and deeply coloured blooms: rich, deep purple flowers carried on tall, branched purple stems that contrast beautifully against my fresh bright green foliage. My flowers are exceptionally long-stemmed, reaching 90 cm to 1 m once established, and I can produce them prolifically all year round. I am a compact and well-branched grower, making me one of the most versatile Kangaroo Paws available for both garden and cut flower use. My long vase life of 4 or more weeks and excellent flower holding ability make me outstanding as a cut flower, while my year-round blooming and neat habit make me equally at home in the garden. My nectar-rich flowers are a magnet for honeyeaters and other nectar-feeding birds. I am drought tolerant once established and perform well across a wide range of Australian conditions. Remove spent flower stems at the base to encourage the next flush of blooms. Keep an eye out for snails and slugs, and remove any leaves affected by rust or ink spot disease promptly.
