Anigozanthos are native to Australia. They have narrow, strap-shaped leaves, and upright stems that bear clusters of tubular, hooded, hairy flowers from mid / late Spring to early / mid Summer. In cooler climes these plants are best-suited to growing in a conservatory or cool green-house.
Flowering
From Mid Spring TO Mid Summer
Normally flowers appear from mid to late Spring through to early to mid Summer
Planting
From Mid Spring TO Late Spring
After all risk of frost plant in full or part sun position with fertile, well drained soil. If drainage is poor, such as in most clay soils, break down the clay with gypsum or build up the bed to provide good drainage.
Propagating by seed
From Late Winter TO Mid Spring
Sow seed under glass or indoors in good quality seed compost.
