Anigozanthos Bush Diamond

Common Name:
Kangaroo Paw 'Bush Diamond'

Description:
Anigozanthos 'Bush Diamond' is a uniquely elegant kangaroo paw variety that produces striking white flowers with soft pink to blush undertones, creating a luminous effect that stands out in both native and ornamental gardens. Part of the Bush Gems® series, this compact cultivar is bred for strong performance, high disease resistance, and extended flowering periods. Blooming mainly from spring through summer—with repeat flushes in autumn—it attracts birds and pollinators with its nectar-rich, tubular flowers held high on slender stems. The tidy clumps of narrow, sword-like green foliage offer year-round structure and contrast, making it ideal for borders, containers, and mass planting. Perfectly suited to Melbourne’s climate, 'Bush Diamond' performs best in full sun with well-drained soil, and tolerates light frost and dry conditions once established. Its subtle flower tones also make it a beautiful choice for softening modern garden palettes or pairing with bolder natives for contrast.
