Description
"Bush Inferno", a captivating cultivar of the Anigozanthos or Kangaroo Paw, hails from the natural terrains of Western Australia. Its fiery bright red flowers, infused with hints of purple, create a mesmerising contrast against its green foliage, making it a hot favourite for garden enthusiasts. This small shrub not only brings a burst of colour to gardens and indoor pots but also entices native wildlife with its vibrant blossoms.
For gardeners looking to plant "Bush Inferno" in the ground, enriching sandy soils with organic compost or aged manure can greatly benefit its growth. This Kangaroo Paw variety flourishes under the brilliance of full sun and prefers regular watering, especially during the warmer periods. To keep its fiery charm alive, a dose of native plant fertiliser during Djilba (Late Winter to Early Spring) is beneficial. Come Djeran (Autumn), don't hesitate to prune it hard to the ground; this robust plant bounces back with vigour once established.
