Anigozanthos 'Bush Elegance' pbr

Common Name:
Kangaroo Paw 'Bush Elegance'

Description:
Anigozanthos 'Bush Elegance' is a compact, deep-toned cultivar of the iconic Australian kangaroo paw. Renowned for its rich burgundy-purple flower spikes, this variety brings dramatic colour to garden beds, borders, and containers. It features slender, strappy green foliage that forms a tidy clump, providing an architectural contrast to the upright, velvety blooms. Bred for improved disease resistance and garden performance, 'Bush Elegance' is ideal for low-maintenance landscapes and makes a striking cut flower. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, tolerates drought once established, and benefits from occasional pruning to maintain its form and encourage fresh flowering. In Melbourne's climate, it typically flowers from spring through autumn, with peak displays in the warmer months.
