  Kangaroo paw 'Landscape Lilac'

Anigozanthos Landscape Lilac is from the Tall and Tough range from Gardening With Angus. It suits most soils and can be grown in sun to part shade. Higher light levels will give  better flowering. Blooming in spring with multi branched stems of beautiful subtle shades of pale purple to lilac colours, they will attract birds to the garden. They are also lovely eye catching cut flowers. As the flower opens it will age to a pale green. It will tolerate wet spells. An easy care and fast growing plant which forms a large clump, if the leaves become damaged from old age or extreme weather conditions such as frost, and when the flower stems die off, simply cut the old growth down close to the ground. The plant will reshoot from the underground rhizome. This fantastic mid-sized Kangaroo paw will grow with ease and perform well for many years, bearing masses of pretty lilac to pale green coloured flowers from spring through summer. ‘Landscape Lilac’ has been selected for the great flower colour and for the way it develops multiple shoots quickly. As it is a fast grower, it needs some feeding and watering through the warm months to reduce plant stress, which can lead to leaf spotting. A good native or general purpose fertiliser followed up with a good watering will ensure good growth.
