I am Anigozanthos Ruby Velvet. My family originated from South Western Australia
| I am a smaller Kangaroo Paw with an abundance of bold red flowers and a naturally tidy habit.
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. 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. |
