Whether you’re creating a native garden, a drought-tolerant landscape, or a striking feature bed, Kangaroo Paw can bring your outdoor space to life. Native to Western Australia, Kangaroo Paw earned its name from the distinctive shape of its flowers, which resemble the paws of a kangaroo. These unusual flowers not only make a visual impact but also carry cultural significance—serving as the floral emblem of Western Australia and even featuring on postage stamps. The flower stems rise tall above clumps of strappy green foliage, creating a dramatic vertical effect. Available in a wide array of colours—from fiery reds and oranges to yellows, pinks, and lime greens—Kangaroo Paw makes a bold statement in any garden. Perfect for Aussie Conditions Anigozanthos are wonderfully suited to Australian gardens thanks to their adaptability and resilience. These plants thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating drought, coastal exposure, and even light frosts. Once established, they require minimal watering, making them ideal for water-wise or low-maintenance landscaping. Many of our Kangaroo Paw varieties have been specifically bred for improved disease resistance, compact size, and extended flowering periods—ensuring your garden stays vibrant and healthy for longer. With proper care, they’ll bloom from late winter through summer, adding long-lasting colour to your landscape. Low Maintenance, High Reward Kangaroo Paw is not only beautiful but also easy to grow. For best results, remove spent flower stems at the base to encourage more blooming. Apply a slow-release native fertiliser in spring, and add mulch around the base to retain moisture and keep weeds at bay.
