Plant Description
A compact, clump‑forming kangaroo paw selected for its unusual, vibrant flower colors and durable, grass‑like evergreen foliage; ideal for color, form, and cut‑flower use.
Flowers & Bloom Time
Fuzzy clusters in purple and peacock‑blue carried on branched stems; reliable flowering from spring through fall for extended seasonal impact.
Habit & Size
Upright, clumping habit; typically reaches ~16 in. tall and ~20 in. wide, maintaining a neat footprint for small gardens and container accents.
Sun & Exposure
Full sun to partial sun. In hot inland locations, a touch of afternoon shade can help preserve foliage quality without sacrificing bloom.
Water & Soil
Plant in lean, very well‑drained sandy to loamy soil; avoid soggy conditions. Water regularly the first season to establish; once established, water occasionally—best bloom with consistent summer moisture while allowing the mix to dry between waterings.
Hardiness
USDA Zones 9–11; evergreen in mild climates. Protect from hard frost and ensure excellent winter drainage.
Special Features
Drought‑resistant once established; excellent, long‑lasting cut flower; attracts hummingbirds and other pollinators; evergreen texture for year‑round structure.
Landscape Uses
Low‑water borders, gravel/coastal gardens, and mixed containers; striking when massed or repeated for rhythmic color along paths and patio edges.
Care & Maintenance
Remove spent flower stalks at the base to encourage fresh spikes. Groom older or faded foliage as needed. Feed sparingly—overly rich soils and heavy fertilizer can reduce flowering.
Spacing & Planting
Space plants 18–24 in. apart for a continuous ribbon of color and good air movement. Set crowns slightly high to promote rapid runoff around the base.
Container Tips
Use a gritty, fast‑draining mix; allow the top inch to dry between deep waterings. Pair with sun‑loving companions in complementary hues for a bold, modern palette.
