Q: How large does Pink Kangaroo Paw get?
A: It typically reaches 12-18 inches in height (flower spikes) and spreads 8-12 inches wide, forming a dense, clumping mound of foliage.

Q: How much sun does it need for the best flowering?
A: For the most abundant flower display, plant in full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily). It will tolerate partial shade, but flowering will be reduced.

Q: How much water does it need?
A: Once established, it is drought-tolerant. Water regularly during its first year to establish a deep root system. After that, it requires little to no supplemental water. Overwatering can cause root rot.

Q: Does it attract hummingbirds?
A: Yes, the nectar-rich, tubular pink flowers are highly attractive to hummingbirds, as well as butterflies and other pollinators.

Q: Is it cold hardy?
A: It is reliably hardy in USDA zones 9-11. It is sensitive to frost and temperatures below 32°F. In colder zones, it should be grown in a container and overwintered indoors or treated as an annual.

Q: When should I prune it?
A: Prune spent flower spikes down to the base after blooming to encourage repeat flowering. In late winter or early spring, remove any old, damaged, or tired foliage to make way for fresh new growth.

Q: Is it deer resistant?
A: Yes, Kangaroo Paws are generally resistant to deer browsing, making them a good choice for gardens with deer pressure.
