Description
"Bush Bonanza" from the Anigozanthos family, commonly known as Kangaroo Paw, stands out with its bright yellow blooms kissed with a touch of lime-green. As a Western Australian native, this small shrub not only adds a burst of colour to any garden space but also attracts local birds, enhancing the local ecosystem. Its beauty and versatility make it a favoured choice for both ornamental and native gardens.
When planting "Bush Bonanza", it's essential to enrich poor, sandy soils with organic compost for the best results. It thrives in full sun and needs moderate watering, proving its hardiness once fully established. To ensure its continual vibrancy, a controlled-release native plant fertiliser applied during Djilba (Late Winter to Early Spring) is ideal. Prune it hard to the ground in early Djeran (Autumn) to encourage healthy growth throughout the year.
