How to Grow Anigozanthos Mix
-
Position – Anigozanthos Mix thrives in full sun, where it will bloom the most vibrantly and produce the most abundant flowers. It can tolerate some light shade, but the best growth and flowering occur in sunny spots.
-
Soil – Prefers well-drained soil that is slightly acidic to neutral. Sandy, loamy, or even rocky soils are ideal, as long as drainage is excellent. Avoid heavy, clay soils that can retain too much moisture.
-
Watering – While Kangaroo Paw is drought-tolerant once established, it will need regular watering when newly planted to establish strong roots. Water deeply but infrequently, ensuring the soil has time to dry out between waterings.
-
Fertilizing – Anigozanthos Mix benefits from a light application of low-phosphorus fertilizer in early spring to encourage healthy growth and vibrant blooms. Avoid high-phosphorus fertilizers, as they can damage the plant.
-
Pruning & Maintenance – Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and keep the plant tidy. Cut back the stems in late winter to promote fresh new growth in spring.
-
Winter Care – This plant is typically hardy in mild climates and can tolerate light frost. In colder regions, it may need protection from freezing temperatures. Mulch around the base in winter to provide extra protection.
