Bush Gold Kangaroo Paw
Anigozanthos ‘Bush Gold’
Bush Gold Kangaroo Paw is a vibrant and showy Australian native that brings a unique touch of the outback to sunny gardens. It forms a dense clump of upright, sword-shaped, gray-green foliage. In spring and summer, it sends up multiple, fuzzy stems topped with clusters of unmistakable, velvety, bright yellow flowers that resemble kangaroo paws. A prolific bloomer with excellent vase life, it adds dramatic color, exotic texture, and is a magnet for hummingbirds in warm, well-drained sites.
