Bush Gems Celebrations Aussie Spirit Kangaroo Paw (PBR) 180mm

An exciting new addition to the Kangaroo Paw Bush Gems range, Celebrations Aussie Spirit Kangaroo Paw is a showstopper with unique yellow and green flowers for most of the year held above compact green strap-like foliage.

Bred by the team at Kings Park Botanic Garden in Western Australia, Bush Gems Celebrations highlight a new generation of breeding with several showstopping new varieties in never before seen colour combinations. Bush Gems Kangaroo Paws have developed a reputation for excellent flowering performance, much improved disease tolerance and more compact growth habits than other varieties of Kangaroo Paw, and the Celebrations series are no different; their profuse flowering habit has to be seen to be believed. Like all Kangaroo Paws, Aussie Spirit is excellent as a cut flower, and grows well in a large pot as well as a well drained sunny spot.

The colour and form of Kangaroo Paws make them one of the most rewarding Australian native plants for the home garden. Kangaroo Paws make a great cut flower as they retain their colour and form for weeks in a vase. With bright green upright facing strappy foliage, they are an excellent plant for garden beds, rockeries or containers. Kangaroo Paws require a well drained soil in a sunny position, and if grown in pots ensure a potting mix for Australian Native plants is used. Protect from snails and slugs. In humid climates Kangaroo Paw can be affected by the fungal rust or ink spot disease. Ensure plants are grown in an open area and remove any badly affected leaves.
