Description
The Kangaroo Paw (Anigozanthos spp.) is a striking and unusual perennial plant native to Western Australia, celebrated for its distinctive, velvety, tubular flowers that resemble the paw of a kangaroo—hence the name. These flowers grow on tall, slender stalks and come in a variety of vibrant colors, including red, yellow, orange, pink, green, and purple.
Kangaroo Paws are well adapted to dry, sunny climates and thrive in well-drained soil, making them ideal for drought-tolerant and low-maintenance gardens. They have long, sword-like green leaves that grow in clumps, forming an attractive base from which the flower stalks emerge.
Blooming mainly in spring and summer, their nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to birds and pollinators, especially honeyeaters. While generally hardy, they benefit from regular deadheading and occasional pruning to encourage healthy growth and flowering.
With their bold colors and sculptural form, Kangaroo Paws are popular in native landscapes, modern gardens, and floral arrangements, adding a touch of the exotic and a strong sense of place.
