Kangaroo Paw

Description

Meet your new best friend - the kangaroo paw! This stunning plant boasts 2m-tall stalks with large, individual flowers that are simply irresistible to birds (they just can't get enough of that nectar!). Plus, its strappy dark green leaves add a beautiful touch. To keep it happy and healthy, give your kangaroo paw a sunny spot and some good native fertiliser. It's also super adaptable to different soils - talk about low maintenance! But the best part? This plant is like a magic trick - just cut it back hard to the ground after it goes dormant, and it'll regrow from its underground rhizomes! Just make sure to give it some TLC (water and feed) after cutting back, and if there's any chance of frost, cover those rhizomes with hay or straw for extra protection.
