Description
"Bush Dance", a standout member of the Anigozanthos family or Kangaroo Paw, boasts flowers with a radiant red centre complemented by deep green fingers. This Western Australian native, in the form of a small shrub, promises not only to grace gardens with its vibrant hue but also to be a hub of activity for local wildlife. Its captivating look serves as a natural focal point in ornamental and native garden designs alike.
In preparation for "Bush Dance", enriching poor, sandy soils with organic compost is a recommended step. The plant requires a sun-soaked spot and consistent yet moderate watering. A controlled-release native plant fertiliser during Djilba (Late Winter to Early Spring) will cater to its needs best. To promote vigorous growth, pruning it hard to the ground during early Djeran (Autumn) is ideal, and once established, it showcases its resilient nature with minimal fuss.
