Description
"Bush Flare", a striking cultivar of the Anigozanthos family, commonly referred to as Kangaroo Paw, dazzles with a display of bright yellow-orange flowers tinged with reddish-orange, capturing the essence of a radiant sunset. Native to Western Australia, this small shrub effortlessly brings a vivid burst of colour to any garden, ideal for those aiming to create lively contrasts or highlight spaces. Its eye-catching blooms not only serve as an ornamental masterpiece but also attract local wildlife, particularly nectar-loving birds.
For those opting to plant "Bush Flare" in the ground, enriching sandy soils with organic matter will offer a conducive environment for optimal growth. This vibrant cultivar thrives best under full sun and needs consistent moisture, particularly during warmer periods. To enhance its spirited blossoming, apply a controlled-release fertiliser for native plants during Djilba (Late Winter to Early Spring). When early Djeran (Autumn) arrives, pruning it hard to the ground is recommended to foster a fresh, abundant regrowth. Renowned for its resilience, "Bush Flare" stands strong, particularly once established.
