Landscape Gold, part of the Tall and Tough kangaroo paw series, flourishes in diverse soil types and positions. Its vibrant yellow and gold flowers are a magnet for nectar-loving birds and insects, doubling as stunning cut flowers. Minimal maintenance involves an annual post-flowering trim, promoting new growth.
This resilient plant thrives in both sunny and partially shaded areas, although reduced light levels may impact flower production. During the flowering period, it benefits from native fertilizer and occasional watering during dry spells to ensure optimal blooming. While it can withstand light frost, heavy frost may damage foliage. In such cases, pruning back to the base allows for vigorous regrowth from its underground rhizomes, ensuring long-term vitality in the garden.
Soil: Sandy, Clay, Loamy, Sandy loam, Clay loam, Potting mix
Conditions: Sunny, Light shade, Tolerates light frost
Size: Flowering spikes grow 1-2m tall
