Native to Western Australia, Kangaroo paws make excellent garden and patio subjects and wonderful cutflowers for a bold indoor statement. The Bush Gem selections are naturally branching and throw multiple flower heads over summer. They have a high natural disease tolerance and need little water - summer droughts eat dust!
Feature:
Compact bush with vibrant pink/orange flowers, strong flowering.
Uses:
Great for landscape, borders, patio pots and indoor floral work.
Position:
Plant in a well-aired and sunny position and a coarse and well-drained soil - they do not like wet feet!
Care:
Remove spent flower heads to prolong flowering. An annual tidy and a light dressing of low-phosphorus slow-release fertiliser in autumn is beneficial.
