Anigozanthos flavidus 'Pink' is a striking, clump-forming perennial prized for its unique, velvety, tubular flowers that resemble tiny kangaroo paws. This evergreen plant produces tall, branching flower spikes in shades of soft to vibrant pink, rising above a dense clump of slender, iris-like, bright green foliage. Blooming from late spring through summer, and often into fall in mild climates, the nectar-rich flowers are a magnet for hummingbirds, butterflies, and other pollinators. Native to Australia, it is remarkably tough, drought-tolerant, and adaptable to a range of well-drained soils, making it an outstanding choice for sunny borders, rock gardens, coastal plantings, and containers.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

If you’re unsure which size or form fits your project, our team is happy to help you select the best option based on your space, timeline, and design goals.

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.
