KANGAROO PAW - BUSH PEARL
Botanical Name: Anigozanthos sp.Description
Pretty pink flowers and a prolific flowerer on a compact plant make this a great choice. Plant in full or part sun position with well drained soils. Cut old flowering stems back to their base to tidy up the plant and encourage repeat flowering. Remove any dead stems from the base of the shoot. New shoots will appear from underground rhizomes. Older plants will benefit by the annual removal of any damaged leaves. Protect from heavy frost.If drainage is poor, such as in most clay soils, break down the clay with gypsum or build up the bed to provide good drainage.
