Celebrations Carnival Kangaroo Paw (Anigozanthos ‘KPCARN’, PP34,960) delivers festival‑bright color on fuzzy, soft‑purple flowers that open to show a green interior, rising above tidy fans of strappy foliage. Built for sun and lean, fast‑draining soils, this drought‑tolerant evergreen adds standout texture to modern borders, gravel gardens, and mixed containers—and it’s a long‑lasting cut flower that draws pollinators from spring through fall.
A compact, clumping kangaroo paw noted for its plush, soft‑purple blooms that transition to green inside as they open, held on branched stems above grass‑like evergreen foliage.
Fuzzy, tubular flowers in soft purple open to show green interiors; primary bloom from spring through fall with strong seasonal color for borders and containers.
Upright, clumping habit reaching about 16 in. tall and 20 in. wide—neat proportions for pathways, front‑of‑border rhythm, or patio groupings.
Full sun to partial sun. In cooler coastal sites, give all‑day sun; in hotter inland settings, light afternoon shade helps preserve foliage quality.
Plant in lean, very well‑drained sandy to loamy soil—avoid soggy sites. Water regularly the first season to establish, then reduce frequency; for peak bloom, provide consistent summer moisture while allowing the soil to dry between waterings.
USDA Zones 9–11; evergreen where winter is mild. Protect from hard frost and ensure sharp drainage in cool, wet seasons.
Drought‑resistant once established; excellent, long‑lasting cut flower; attracts hummingbirds and other pollinators; evergreen texture for year‑round structure.
Color and texture for gravel or coastal gardens, low‑water borders, and mixed containers; striking when massed as a pocket meadow or used as a repeating accent.
Deadhead by removing spent bloom stalks at the base. Groom older or faded leaves as needed. Feed sparingly; overly rich soils and heavy fertilizer can reduce flowering.
Space plants 18–24 in. apart for a continuous ribbon of color and adequate air movement. Set slightly high in the planting hole to encourage quick drainage at the crown.
Use a gritty, fast‑draining mix; pair with sun‑loving companions in complementary hues. Allow the top inch of mix to dry between deep waterings.
Harvest when buds are just opening; stems hold well in the vase and add tactile interest to mixed arrangements.
U.S. Plant Patent PP34,960. Asexual propagation is prohibited during the life of the patent.
