Anigozanthos 'Tequila Sunrise' – Kangaroo Paw

Kangaroo Paw

Anigozanthos 'Tequila Sunrise' brings delightful sunset color to the garden with fuzzy, tubular red-orange flowers warmed by yellow tones. Tall, upright flower stems rise above clumps of dark green, strap-like evergreen foliage, creating a bold accent in sunny borders, mass plantings, and containers. This Australian hybrid flowers from spring through summer, often continuing into fall, attracting hummingbirds and providing excellent cut-flower stems. Grow in full sun for the best flower color, with well-drained sandy or gritty soil and moderate watering. Established plants tolerate drought, while deer and rabbits generally leave them alone.
