Description

These plants are well noted for their dramatic, colourful and bright bird attracting tubular flowers.They produce a neat clump of and somewhat grass-like strappy foliage. Kangaroo Paw will grow best in a very well drained sandy or gravelly soil and out in a hot, sunny open position. They are frost tolerant and will grow quite well in coastal regions. Once established they will tolerate drought, although flowering will be prolonged with summer watering. The varieties vary in height from 50cm to 1.8 metres with a spread at maturity of up to 1 metre.
