Anigozanthos 'Big Red' is a beautiful and unique plant species that is well worth adding to your garden. Native to Western Australia, the Big Red Kangaroo Paw is known for its striking, fuzzy bright red flowers that resemble the paws of a kangaroo, hence its name. Not only is it visually stunning, but it is also a hardy and low-maintenance plant that is perfect for adding a splash of color to any garden.

One of the most striking features of the Big Red Kangaroo Paw is its fuzzy, tubular, red flowers that split lengthwise into six segments at the tip resembling "claws". The long blooming flowers appear from spring to fall and are held on tall, sturdy stalks that can reach up to 5 feet in height.

The dark green iris-like leaves of the Big Red Kangaroo Paw are 3 feet long and narrow, and fold at the midrib. 'Big Red' is a disease resistant, evergreen, clumping perennial that will provide greenery in your garden all year round.

When in bloom, Big Red Kangaroo Paw can get as tall as 6 feet and is considered one of the easiest to grow and most adaptable of the Kangaroo Paws. This tall Anigozanthos attracts hummingbirds to your garden and looks great in perennial gardens, cut flower gardens, and even in containers.

How often should I water Red Kangaroo Paw?
Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once mature, it’s drought tolerant and should be watered only when the soil is dry several inches down.
How and when should I prune or maintain it?
Cut back old flower stalks and damaged leaves at the base after blooming. In late winter or early spring, trim the entire plant close to the ground to encourage vigorous new growth.
What climates and hardiness zones does it grow in?
Red Kangaroo Paw grows best in USDA Zones 9–11. It thrives in warm, dry climates and tolerates heat, drought, and coastal conditions.
Are there any common pests or diseases?
Overwatering or poor air circulation can cause fungal leaf spot or crown rot. Snails and slugs may feed on young shoots but are easily controlled with barriers or traps.
