Anigozanthos 'Red Cross' is a resilient, low-maintenance perennial that combines hardiness with extraordinary beauty. Known commonly as the Red Kangaroo Paw, this plant is cherished for its spectacular red blooms that mirror the shape of a kangaroo paw and rise prominently on sturdy, 2 to 4 feet tall stems.

The Red Kangaroo Paw not only enriches your garden with vibrant colour from spring through summer but also invites hummingbirds and butterflies to your landscape, enhancing biodiversity.
