Products > Anigozanthos 'Landscape Lilac'   Anigozanthos 'Landscape Lilac' - Lilac Kangaroo Paw     [2nd Image] Habit and Cultural Information Category: Perennial Family: Haemodoraceae Origin: Australia (Australasia) Evergreen: Yes Flower Color: Lavender Pink Bloomtime: Spring/Fall Parentage: (A. flavidus hybrid) Height: 4-5 feet Width: 1-2 feet Exposure: Full Sun Irrigation (H2O Info): Medium Water Needs Winter Hardiness: 25-30° F Anigozanthos 'Landscape Lilac' (Lilac Kangaroo Paw) - Upright perennial plant with 2-3 feet tall sword-like foliage and 5-6 feet tall wands of lavender pink flowers on gray pink stems. Plant in a sunny and open position in the garden in well-drained soils. Irrigate regularly and fertilize in spring (not heavily and keep phosphorus on the low side). Fans only flower once and need to be cleaned out after the flowering period so remove the old leaves down to as low as possible at the end of a season. Care should be exercised that the new emerging fans are not damaged. Treat for snails. Hardy to about 25-30 degrees F. A great and tough kangaroo paw in a color yet to be seen in any other cultivar. As will other kangaroo paws this one is great for attracting hummingbirds. This is a 2017 introduction from legendary kangaroo paw breeder Angus Stewart, who was also responsible for all of the later Bush Gem hybrids, the series started in the late 1970s by the late Merv Turner. We received the only trail material of this plant sent into to the US in late 2015 along with several other new cultivars that are part of Angus's "Landscape Series". In 2019 we introduced Anigozanthos 'Landscape Pink' and we have several more yet to come. These plants should be among the most durable and long living of the cultivated kangaroo paws for California gardens.  This information is based on research conducted about this plant in our nursery library and from reliable online sources. We also take into consideration observations of it in our nursery of crops, as well as of plants growing in the nursery's garden and those in other gardens we have visited. We will incorporate comments received from others and welcome getting feedback from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if it includes cultural information that would aid others in growing Anigozanthos 'Landscape Lilac'.     [MORE INFO]
