Fireworks Kangaroo Paw 180MM

Fireworks ‘Kangaroo Paw’ – 180MM

(Not currently available to be ordered)

I am Celebrations® Fireworks Kangaroo Paw. My family originated from Western Australia

Botanic Name: Anigozanthos x hybrid ‘KPFIRE’

Strappy/Grasses – Perfect for pots

My multi-coloured blooms are an unusual blue/purple colour which tapers to an iridescent bright pink at the base and down the flower stem. My blooms contrast beautifully against my light blue green foliage.

I am the result of many years of a careful breeding regime called ‘recurrent selection’ by the team at Kings Park. This means that not only am I stunningly beautiful but I also have a long flowering season, a high resistance to extremes of temperature, poor soils and dry conditions. I have excellent disease resistance and am rarely afflicted by ink-spot and rust which commonly affect many Kangaroo Paw varieties.

My blooms are a magnet for nectar feeding birds such as spine bills and honey eaters.

I am happiest grown in a pot or other container.

As a cut flower I am long lived in a vase when being enjoyed indoors.
