Anigozanthos ‘Bush Ranger’ (Red)

Family: Haemodoraceae
Common Name: Red Kangaroo Paw
Origin: Western Australia; bred hybrid selection noted for compact form and extended bloom season

Description:

‘Bush Ranger’ is a dwarf red variety of the popular Kangaroo Paw, developed for reliable performance and intense color in landscape and container settings. Plants form compact clumps of slender, sword-like green leaves and produce sturdy, branching stems topped with velvety red tubular flowers that attract hummingbirds. Mature clumps typically reach 18–24 in (45–60 cm) tall in bloom, with dense flowering displays from spring through fall under ideal conditions.

This variety offers excellent garden durability and consistent color. It is particularly well-suited to dry, sunny landscapes, where it provides a long-lasting burst of red that contrasts beautifully against silver or green foliage companions.

Climate & Hardiness:

  • Zones: USDA 9–11
  • Temperature: Prefers 60–90 °F (16–32 °C); protect from frost below 30 °F (–1 °C)
  • Sunlight: Full sun for best flowering and compact growth; tolerates light shade
  • Humidity: Performs well in low to moderate humidity with excellent airflow

Planting & Care Tips:

  • Soil: Well-draining sandy or gritty soil; avoid heavy clay or waterlogged areas
  • Watering: Moderate water needs; allow soil surface to dry slightly between irrigations
  • Fertilization: Feed with a low-phosphorus fertilizer during the growing season to promote healthy foliage and blooms
  • Maintenance: Remove spent flower stems after blooming to encourage repeat flowering; cut back hard in late winter to refresh growth
  • Pests / Resistance: Drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and generally pest-free when grown in well-drained soil
