- Anigozanthos ‘Bush Bonanza’
A hardy variety of hybrid kangaroo paw that has stood the test of time. It is a smaller growing variety with 1 metre tall lightly branched red-orange stems which contrast beautifully with the bright yellow flowers. The strappy green upright foliage is also a feature. Grows well in all areas where there is good drainage, also great in large containers and self watering planters. Flowers in spring to summer and they make great cut flowers. Nectar loving birds are attracted to feed on the flowers. Feed in late winter to early spring when the flower buds are developing, once flowers begin to die off they can be removed to rejuvenate the plant- instructions for this are here>>>
