Anigozanthos
'Bush Lantern' ~ Kangaroo Paws |
| The bright
yellow flowers of Anigozanthos Bush Lantern last for several months. This is a great cut flower. The
distinctive look of the Kangaroo Paws will catch the attention of even the most discerning
plant-aholic. There is a black fungus that gets going on the iris-like leaves and
this is hard to get rid of. It is caused by excessive overhead watering. I
usually put them on a drip system and water them infrequently once established. This
dwarf cultivar gets to about 2 feet tall. It is hardy to the low 20's. It is a
cross between Anigozanthos humilis and Anigozanthos bicolor. It will grow in some
shade but performs better in full sun.
