Common Name:
Kangaroo Paw 'Bush Celebrations Fireworks'

Description:
Anigozanthos 'Bush Celebrations Fireworks' is a spectacular dwarf Kangaroo Paw variety known for its vivid colour contrasts and compact form. This striking cultivar features masses of bright red and yellow flowers held on upright stems above a neat clump of strappy green foliage. Flowering from late spring through to autumn, it offers a prolonged display that brings dynamic colour to garden beds, borders, and pots. Specifically bred for improved disease resistance and performance in humid conditions, 'Bush Celebrations Fireworks' thrives in Melbourne's temperate climate when planted in a sunny, well-drained spot. It's drought-tolerant once established and benefits from regular deadheading and light pruning to extend its flowering period. This hardy, low-maintenance perennial is especially attractive to nectar-feeding birds and bees, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens and modern native landscapes.
