Description

Big Red Kangaroo Paw is a statuesque and dramatic variety that makes a bold architectural statement. It forms a large clump of broad, gray-green leaves. In late spring and summer, it sends up towering, fuzzy flower spikes in a classic, deep crimson-red. These impressive stems can reach eye level, creating an unforgettable focal point. It is the quintessential kangaroo paw for adding height, vibrant color, and a strong Australian accent to the back of sunny borders.

• Tall, Dramatic Crimson Flower Spikes: Produces very tall, sturdy stems topped with large clusters of deep red, velvety flowers.

• Large, Architectural Presence: One of the tallest hybrids, it adds significant vertical interest and serves as a magnificent backdrop plant.

• Long-Lasting Garden and Cut Flower: The flower stems are incredibly durable both in the garden and in large-scale floral arrangements.

• Requires Full Sun and Perfect Drainage: Essential for success. Plant in a raised bed or slope if drainage is in question.

• Hummingbird Magnet: The large, nectar-rich flowers are irresistible to hummingbirds.
