Anigozanthos 'Ruby Velvet'

Description

Anigozanthos 'Ruby Velvet' is an attractive new hybrid Kangaroo Paw with strappy leaves to 2' in height. It has stunning red flowers to 3' high which appear in Spring and Summer. These high nectar producing flowers attract honey birds into the garden. It's moderately frost hardy and will survive in full sun, well drained positions, or is ideal to plant into containers. After flowering, remove the old flowering stems low in the plant. The Velvet Range series are very tough, and resistant to black spot. Excellent for landscape and gardens either mass planted or as a specimen plant.
