Anigozanthos hybrid Gold Velvet

Common Name:
Kangaroo Paw 'Gold Velvet'

Description:
Anigozanthos hybrid 'Gold Velvet' is a luminous kangaroo paw cultivar that delivers masses of rich golden-yellow blooms on tall, sturdy stems from spring through to autumn. Part of the Velvet Kangaroo Paw range, 'Gold Velvet' is bred for its vibrant colour, extended flowering period, and strong resistance to black spot and ink disease. Its soft, velvety flowers are highly attractive to nectar-feeding birds and pollinators, while the upright, architectural form adds height and texture to garden beds, native landscapes, and feature pots. The evergreen, clump-forming base of strappy green foliage stays neat year-round and responds well to pruning after flowering. Thriving in Melbourne’s full sun conditions with well-drained soil, 'Gold Velvet' is a resilient and low-maintenance performer that offers a long-lasting burst of bold colour to both modern and wildlife-friendly gardens.
