Description
"Bush Tenacity," a cultivar of Kangaroo Paw (Anigozanthos), showcases stunning yellow flowers that fade to orange-red at the base, flowering year-round. Ideal as a lively accent in the garden or in pots, this perennial herbaceous plant is drought-hardy once established and native to Western Australia. It flourishes best in full sun, well-drained soil, and for those planted in the ground, consider improving sandy soils with organic matter for optimal growth.
Pruning "Bush Tenacity" hard to the ground in early Djeran (Autumn) will stimulate new growth and keep it looking its best. Fertilising with a native plant fertiliser during Djilba (late Winter to early Spring) and Djeran (Autumn), as per the fertiliser's guidelines, ensures healthy development. The intriguing gradient of colour in the flowers, along with its resilience, makes "Bush Tenacity" a delightful addition to any garden setting.
