Description
Mangle's Kangaroo Paw (Anigozanthos manglesii) is celebrated for its distinct bright green fingers with a bright red base and stem. These remarkable flowers add a unique touch and flower primarily from Djilba (late winter) to Birak (summer). The plant is drought-hardy once established, and it's suitable for planting in the ground or in pots, making it a versatile option for gardens seeking an authentic Australian feel.
Incorporate Mangle's Kangaroo Paw into your garden to create a lively and colourful display. It loves full sun and will grow in various soil types, but if planting in sandy soils, improvement with organic matter will boost growth. Its watering needs are minimal once settled, and fertilising with native fertiliser in Djilba (late winter to early spring) and Djeran (autumn) nourishes the plant. For rejuvenation, prune hard to the ground in early Djeran (autumn), allowing this spectacular plant to maintain its vibrant appearance throughout the seasons.
