Anigozanthos ‘Bush Nugget’
Tubular golden flowers that look like kangaroo's paws and bloom for months.
Kangaroo paws have some of the most distinctive flowers in the botanical world with clusters of fuzzy tubular flowers that look like a kangaroo’s paw and that bloom for months! ‘Bush Nugget’ has golden yellow flowers on red stems to two feet above iris-like mid-green foliage. Though tolerant of some freezing it would be safest to bring plants inside to a greenhouse or as a houseplant in winter.
