Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

"Amber Velvet", a variant of Anigozanthos (Kangaroo Paw), parades brilliant orange-red blossoms with sun-kissed yellow undertones, offering a luminous display reminiscent of Western Australian sunsets. As a testament to its roots, this Western Australian native adds an exotic touch to gardens, making a captivating centrepiece when potted or an impressive spectacle when mass planted. Its fiery hues are not only a visual treat but also act as a magnet for native birds, enhancing any garden's ecosystem.

When planting "Amber Velvet" in the ground, enriching sandy soils with organic compost can provide a nutritious base for the plant. Thriving in full sunlight, this perennial prefers consistent watering initially but reveals its hardy nature once established, demanding lesser care. A dose of balanced, slow-release fertiliser in Djilba (Late Winter to Early Spring) ensures a lush growth. As early Djeran (Autumn) sets in, it benefits from a hard prune down to the ground, rejuvenating its vibrant presence for the seasons to follow.
