Description
The "Bush Fury" cultivar of the Anigozanthos family, commonly known as Kangaroo Paw, is a striking small shrub cherished for its deep red flowers, subtly brushed with hints of purple. Originating from Western Australia, this captivating plant not only provides a lush colour contrast in gardens but also acts as a magnet for nectar-seeking birds. A preferred choice for garden enthusiasts, "Bush Fury" complements both garden beds and container gardens, serving as an elegant feature or backdrop.
When planting "Bush Fury" in the ground, it's essential to enrich poor, sandy soils with well-decomposed compost or manure to ensure optimal growth. This plant craves full sunlight and regular watering, though it's crucial to monitor moisture levels more closely during hotter periods. During Djilba (Late Winter to Early Spring), apply a native plant fertiliser to foster its vibrant blooms. As Djeran (Autumn) sets in, a hard prune to the ground rejuvenates "Bush Fury", and its robust nature ensures it flourishes again, proving its hardiness after being well-established.
