Its name is Anigozanthos, otherwise name as Kanga, the Red and Green kangaroo paw. Bloom color is influenced by the fine hairs surrounding the flower (and on occasion the stalk), ranging from black to yellow, orange and red. Spring and summer bloomers outdoors, kangaroo paws may bloom anytime when grown indoors. Because of its tropical origins, will probably need to be overwintered indoors to prevent freezing. To care during this dormant phase indoors, keep the plant on the dry side unless its actively blooming. Do well in a variety of habitats and soil types, but prefer well drained, slightly acidic soil in sun exposures. Work well in containers or as accent plants in gardening borders during summer months.
