Bush Ranfer Kangaroo Paw
Anigozanthos ‘Bush Ranger’
Bush Ranger Kangaroo Paw is a tough and popular dwarf hybrid, renowned for its reliability and vibrant display. It forms a neat clump of blue-green, strappy foliage. From spring through summer, it produces an abundance of fuzzy, deep red to orange-red flower stems that stand proudly above the leaves. This compact variety is more tolerant of a range of conditions than some kangaroo paws and is an excellent choice for adding long-lasting, fiery color to borders, rockeries, or containers.
