Description
The "Landscape Scarlet" cultivar of Kangaroo Paw (Anigozanthos) is known for its vivid bright red flowers, a true standout that can flower year-round, with a particular emphasis during the warm months. Being drought-hardy once established, it's suitable for both in the ground and in pots, making it a fantastic choice for various garden arrangements while adding a touch of bold colour.
Showcase "Landscape Scarlet" as a star feature or integrate it with other native plants to create an eye-catching display. It thrives in full sun and can flourish in different soil types; improving sandy soils with organic matter can enhance growth. The watering requirements are minimal, and fertilising with native fertiliser in Djilba (late winter to early spring) and Djeran (autumn) keeps it in prime condition. Pruning hard to the ground in early Djeran (autumn) is recommended for rejuvenation, ensuring that the plant continues to captivate with its vibrant appearance.
