I am a low growing Kangaroo Paw with very bright yellow flowers on tough golden stems.
I have a naturally bushy compact habit.
Unique to Australia I have evolved to be pollinated by small birds for which I am a magnet.
While tolerant of dry conditions I will perform at my best with consistent moisture. I find an annual feed with a quality slow release fertiliser beneficial.
I am just as happy as a container plant as I am planted out in the garden.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
I am a unique Australian native, just as happy in large pots and containers as I am planted out in the garden
I produce masses of vibrant golden yellow flowers from late winter through summer. I am a great cut flower
My long lived blooms attract honey eaters and other small nectar feeding birds

Tips for success
Fertilise me regularly and cut back spent flowers to keep me looking at my best
Plant at least 0.3m apart.
If my flower buds droop this is an indication that I need some more water
Choose a full sun to partly shaded position.
Water regularly while establishing, then check soil moisture before watering.
Choose whether you are planting in the garden or a pot to receive guidance built from this plant's light, water, habit and use information.
