Big Red is a magnificent kangaroo paw that makes a bold architectural statement in the garden. Strappy green leaves grow to around 250mm long, forming a neat clump at the base, while impressive flower spikes can soar up to 2 metres tall, creating dramatic vertical impact. The clusters of vivid tomato-red flowers, each up to 40mm long, are carried high above the foliage and provide a spectacular display from late spring through to mid-summer. The velvety blooms are rich in nectar, making them highly attractive to nectar-feeding birds and a wonderful addition to wildlife-friendly gardens. For best results, plant in a sunny position with well-drained soil. An annual application of a low-phosphorus Australian native fertiliser after flowering will support healthy growth and strong flowering. Remove spent flower spikes and any dead foliage regularly to keep the plant tidy and encourage continued vigour.
