Anigozanthos (Kangaroo Paw)

Anigozanthos originate from southern West Australia, where they grow in sandy soils. The climate there is Mediterranean cool wet winters and hot dry summers with low relative humidity. Most of them do not cope with wet summers, high humidity and poor drainage. But there are exceptions to this and a couple of the varieties cope well with different weather conditions.

Wild birds are attracted to these plants when in bloom during spring and summer. The different sizes of plants, long lasting colours as well as the height of the flower spikes, make them popular with gardeners and also the cut flower market. We produce only a small selection of these plants marketed under the “Bush Cobbers™”. There are very attractive labels readily available for these plants from Macbird floraprint, just click on the label link to view the labels.
