Twenty-two are Anigozanthos; the odd one out is \u003ca href=\"\/products\/macropidia-fuliginosa\"\u003eMacropidia fuliginosa\u003c\/a\u003e, which sits in a genus by itself, its green flowers coated in black fur. The spec reads the same across all twenty-three: full sun, low water once established, moderate growth, and nectar on every one of them, with honeyeaters on the stems within days of the first flowers opening.

The two Celebrations selections, Carnivale and Fireworks, were bred tighter again for containers. Compact hybrids are also shorter lived than the tall types, so plan on replanting every few years rather than nursing an ageing clump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/kangaroo-paw-anigozanthos-flavidus\"\u003eAnigozanthos flavidus\u003c\/a\u003e and its red and yellow selections take more water, more humidity and heavier soil than the small hybrids, and ink spot troubles them far less.

It keeps that rhythm here, flowering in the cooler months and pulling back hard once heat arrives, so an empty patch in January means rest rather than failure. Macropidia is harder again and wants coarse sand, sun and a genuinely dry summer, so on the east coast a large pot of gritty sand based mix under cover beats a garden bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSun, drainage and ink spot\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShade is the first mistake. Growth goes soft, stems stretch and lean, flowering thins, and foliage stays wet long enough for disease to start. Wet ground is the second. Paws rot at the rhizome in clay that sits soggy through winter, so mound the bed, keep mulch pulled back off the crown, and water at ground level rather than over the leaves. Ink spot, the black blotching that runs up older fans, is the usual complaint in humid districts, and spraying does little. Cut the affected fan out at the base and bin it instead of trimming the tips. Frost burns leaf tips in cold inland gardens, though established flavidus clumps reshoot from the crown, so those are the forms for a frost district. Snails shear off new fans overnight, so check after rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne job carries the genus: the hard cut back. Once the main flush finishes, take spent stems and tired foliage down to about a hand's width above the ground. Feed straight after with a low phosphorus native fertiliser and water it in; rich soil, thick mulch on the crown and constant irrigation do more damage than a lean site.

Flower stems carry the familiar furry paw shaped blooms in warm orange and red tones above a fan of evergreen strap leaves, and nectar feeding birds find them within days of opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSun, drainage and air movement are the three requirements. Overhead irrigation, crowded planting and thick mulch pushed against the crown all encourage the black leaf marking that gets blamed on the plant rather than the site.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaintenance is simple and worth doing. Once flowering finishes, cut the spent stems and tired older leaves back to near ground level, water once, and let the clump reshoot clean. Do not confuse this with the tall Anigozanthos flavidus types that reach well over head height in flower; this is a smaller plant for the front of a bed.
