Discover the captivating allure of Anigozanthos flavidus, also known as Tall Kangaroo Paw, a standout evergreen perennial native to Western Australia. This enchanting plant features dramatic flower shapes resembling the paws of its namesake, set atop graceful slender, strap-shaped leaves. Its velvety, tubular flowers range in hues from the most common yellow-green to vibrant shades of orange, red, or pink, and attract nectar-loving birds and honey possums, bringing lively biodiversity to any garden.

Thriving in frost-free zones (USDA 10-11), Anigozanthos flavidus forms basal rosettes of lush, medium green leaves reaching up to 3 feet. Its impressive flower stalks can soar to heights of 3-6 feet, gracing landscapes with a colorful display from late spring through fall. Gardeners in cooler climates can enjoy this species as a greenhouse or houseplant, where it can adorn spaces year-round.

For optimal growth, plant in well-drained, sandy loam under full sun to partial shade, and protect from harsh winds. The species' robust nature and resistance to pests and diseases make it an ideal choice for creating striking backdrops and vibrant garden borders, while its long-lasting blossoms serve as perfect cut flowers. With minimal maintenance requirements, simply deadhead spent blooms to extend its magnificent flowering season, allowing you to revel in its natural beauty with ease.
