Anigozanthos ‘Landscape Scarlet’ – Kangaroo Paw

Botanical Name: Anigozanthos 'Landscape Scarlet'

Common Name: Kangaroo Paw

Average Height (cm): 200

Average Width (cm): 100

Description:

A Tall & Tough Kangaroo Paw with scarlet red flowers on tall stems, perfect for creating bold native garden displays in a range of climates. Popular with nectar feeding birds and insects. This hardy kangaroo paw is hardy and long-lived. Unlike many Kangaroo Paws this variety will grow happily in part shade conditions and will still flower. Although in a sunny spot you will be rewarded with more flowers that are held high above the foliage for a dramatic display.

Garden Design Uses:

Great for cut flowers as the colour is a clear bright red and the flowers last a long time in a vase. Also flowers prolifically and is suitable even for clay soils and tropical climates, unlike most other Kangaroo Paws. Plant in an open space with good sunlight and you will be rewarded.

Care:

Will tolerate many soil types and light conditions. Tolerates drought once established but you will get more flowers if you can keep well watered in the growing season. Prune spent flower stems to encourage fresh growth.
