The Kangaroo Paw 'Landscape Scarlet' is loved for its vivid scarlet-red, tubular flowers that resemble kangaroo paws, adding a striking and unique visual element to any garden. This hardy and drought-tolerant plant is low maintenance and attracts birds and pollinators, enhancing the biodiversity of your garden.
Care Considerations: | Low to moderate watering needs, very drought tolerant once established. Apply organic mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. While not required you can lightly feed with a balanced, low phosphorus fertiliser during the growing season. Remove spent flower stalks and dead leaves to encourage new growth and maintain a tidy appearance. |
