Anigozanthos Bush Bonanza

Common Name:
Kangaroo Paw 'Bush Bonanza'

Description:
Anigozanthos 'Bush Bonanza' is a vibrant, compact cultivar of the iconic Australian Kangaroo Paw, prized for its striking golden-yellow flowers with red highlights and upright, strappy foliage. This clumping perennial is known for its long-lasting blooms and extended flowering season, making it a favourite for both garden beds and pots. 'Bush Bonanza' is well-suited to Melbourne’s climate, performing best in full sun with well-drained soils and low humidity. Flowering from spring through to autumn, it provides a vivid burst of colour and is particularly attractive to birds and pollinators. Regular removal of spent flower stems will encourage repeat blooming and keep the plant looking tidy. It’s also drought-tolerant once established, and well-suited to contemporary native garden designs, courtyards, and low-maintenance landscapes. Anigozanthos 'Bush Bonanza' offers bold ornamental appeal with minimal fuss, thriving in both coastal and inland gardens.
