Anigozanthos Bush Matilda, Kangaroo Paw

Anigozanthos Bush Matilda, commonly known as Kangaroo Paw, is a unique and vibrant Australian native plant. It features striking, velvety, deep green foliage and stunning flowers with a blend of burgundy and lime green colors. Growing this plant requires some specific care.

To grow Anigozanthos Bush Matilda successfully, choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Kangaroo Paws are sensitive to waterlogged conditions, so ensure the soil isn't overly wet. Water the plant moderately, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

These plants prefer a low-phosphorus fertilizer applied during the growing season to promote healthy growth. Prune the spent flowers regularly to encourage new blooms and remove any dead or damaged foliage.
