- Anigozanthos flavidus ‘Landscape Yellow’
This is a tough and tall variety of kangaroo paw with bright yellow flowers on dark red stems. It flowers in mid spring to early summer and the stems are branching, giving more blooms per stem. Birds love the flowers. It is suitable for most soil types, from clay to sandy, and even damp ones. An easy care variety, any blackened leaves from plant stress or heavy frost can simply be pulled or cut off to the base to tidy the plant. Once flowering is finished the whole stem is cut down hard, and the plant will reshoot with new stems from the underground rhizome. Feed with a handful of general purpose or good native fertiliser through the warm months, watering well afterwards to avoid root burn. Drought and light frost resistant once established.
