Bush Surprise Kangaroo Paw 140MM

Anigozanthos hybrid 'Ramboprise'

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

Habit Strappy - Bird attracting
Plant family Haemodoraceae
I am a smaller naturally compact Kangaroo Paw producing stunning orange to red flowers which are even brighter when I am grown in full sun. I appreciate good drainage and will perform at my best with an annual application of quality slow release fertiliser applied in spring. I tolerate dry conditions but will perform at my best with consistent moisture. Relatively tough I am a good choice for exposed locations Remove my spent blooms at the base to maintain a tidy appearance. I was bred for toughness and general landscape conditions. My drought and frost tolerance is very high relative to many other Kangaroo Paws. I am highly resistant to black spot which also affects many other Kangaroo Paws. I create stunning impact mass planted with 4 to 6 plants per square metre. As a cut flower I am long lived in a vase when being enjoyed indoors.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
I am a unique Australian native plant equally happy planted in a pot or in the garden
I produce stunning orange and red blooms all year round, which make a great cut flower
My long lived blooms attract honey eaters and other small nectar feeding birds
