This is a rather delightful smaller kangaroo paw hybrid that features red flower stems with bright yellow medium sized flowers. A sunny well-drained spot will give the best results. An alternative is to grow it in a pot to prolong its life if your soil is poorly drained. Use it as a bird attracting feature plant. Remove the spent flower stems at ground level when it has finished blooming, and give it a handful of a good native fertilizer in spring, being sure to water it in well afterwards.
