This is one of the most prolific flowering of all kangaroo paws and it does it all year round. The smaller habit and bright red flowers make a dramatic statement as a feature plant in the garden, for larger landscaping and for containers in smaller areas. Bird attracting and great as cut flowers. Remove spent flower stems at ground level as well as any blackened leaves. Feed with a good native or general purpose fertiliser in the warm months, being sure to water well afterwards.
