Anigozanthos 'Bush Ember' ~ Kangaroo Paws |
Anigozanthus Bush Ember is a great cut flower. It holds the flowers both on and off the bush for a
long time and they have a very distinctive look. The bush series of Anigozanthos are all dwarf plants
with flowers at a height of 18" to two feet. Anigozanthos species plants can be more than 4 feet tall.
This is often too large for many gardens. There is a black fungus that grows on the iris-like leaves
and this is hard to get rid of. It is caused by excessive overhead watering. I usually put Anigozanthos
Bush Ember on a drip system and water the Kangaroo Paws infrequently once they are established.
Anigozanthos Bush Ember is hardy to the low 20's. It is the result of a cross between A. humilis and
A. flavidus. Anigozanthos will grow in some shade but performs better in full sun.
