A medium sized kangaroo paw with prolific flowering on branched stems. A good performer, great in a container or in the garden and for cut flowers. Flowering season is a little later than other medium sized paws, from late spring to summer, orange blooms with hints of burgundy. It needs good feeding in late winter and again as it buds up to maintain good health, as that many flowers uses a lot of the plant’s resources.
