Description
"Bush Pearl" is a captivating cultivar of the Anigozanthos or Kangaroo Paw, hailing from the diverse ecosystems of Western Australia. This small shrub showcases a symphony of bright to deep pink flowers, ensuring it's an eye-catching addition to gardens or interior settings. The dazzling blooms not only enhance the visual appeal but also attract native birds, adding a touch of nature's melody to any garden space.
When planting "Bush Pearl" in the ground, it's beneficial to enhance sandy soils with organic compost or aged manure for optimum growth. This Kangaroo Paw desires full sun and consistent watering, with an increased frequency during warmer times. A sprinkle of native plant fertiliser in Djilba (Late Winter to Early Spring) will maintain its vibrancy. And come Djeran (Autumn), feel confident in pruning it right down to the ground; its robust character ensures it'll bounce back with zest when well-established.
