A medium sized kangaroo paw, Bush Crystal produces a spectacular display of crimson pink flowers with branched stems though spring and summer. Arched deep green foliage creates an great colour contrast to the brightly coloured flowers. A great cut flower, also bird attracting. Best in a sunny spot. Cut old flowering stems back to their base to tidy up the plant. Older plants will benefit by the annual removal of any damaged leaves, it is very simple to just pull them away from the plant.
