Anigozanthos 'Orange Cross' (Orange Kangaroo Paw) - Evergreen perennial. Full sun. Low water needs. Grows to 4-5 ft tall by 2-3 feet wide with orange flowers in summer. Hardy to about 25-30 degrees F. Full sun, good drainage and occasional summer water. Hardy to about 25-30 degrees F. Attracts hummingbirds. There was some speculation that this was an Anigozanthos preissii x A. flavidus hybrid (same parentage as 'Regal Claw') but this plant appears to be just a very nice selected form of flavidus. 

Information displayed on this page about Anigozanthos 'Orange Cross' is based on our research conducted about this plant in our nursery library as well as from information provided by reliable online resources. We also include our own observations made about it as it has grown in the nursery gardens and other gardens visited, as well how the crops of this plant performed in the containers in our nursery field. We will also include comments received from others and welcome hearing from anyone who has information about this plant, particularly if it includes cultural information aiding others to better grow it.

 
San Marcos Growers closed for regular business at the end of 2025 as the property is being developed for affordable housing.
While our gates remain closed, we will open them by appointment so we can liquidate remaining plants, supplies and equipment. The plants remaining in the field are listed on our Live Inventory Page.
