Notes
'Pearl' kangaroo paw (Anigozanthos 'Pearl') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Candy pink, fuzzy, tubular flowers sit above iris-like foliage on 20 inch stems, and hummingbirds visit them. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. The plant blooms for many months.
Pairs well with Mock orange, Citronella grass, and Break Out dahlia.
