Big Red is a magnificent kangaroo paw with leaves 250 mm long with flower spikes up to 2m tall. The clusters of vivid tomato-red flowers are up to 40 mm long and put on a fabulous show. Flowering occurs over a long period from late spring to mid-summer, and these beautiful native flowers will attract nectar-feeding birds to the garden. Annual fertilising after flowering using an Australian native fertiliser will be beneficial. Remove spent flower spikes and dead foliage regularly.
