Anigozanthos, more commonly called Kangaroo Paw, is a clump forming evergreen perennial endemic to the southwest of Western Australia with 24 species and subspecies within the genus. With vibrant coloured blooms, a velvet-like texture on its flowers and stems and an upright growth habit, Kangaroo Paw is a great addition to gardens for its colour and structure.
Kangaroo Paws have a number of variants and hybrids in naturally occurring populations and have also been used extensively in plant breeding where hybridisation has been practiced for many years. This has resulted in many different colours and forms, with hardiness also being bred into the plants. Intensity of colour is affected by temperature, with lower temperatures providing more intense pigment.
