'Bush Inferno' is a striking compact Kangaroo Paw producing masses of vivid red flowers above mid-green foliage. Part of the renowned Bush Gems range, it’s known for its reliable flowering and tough performance. Perfect for Melbourne’s gardens, it thrives in full sun and well drained soil, delivering long lasting colour and texture with minimal maintenance. Ideal for mass planting, containers, or as a feature plant in native and waterwise gardens.

Key Features:

• Soil: Well drained sandy or loamy soil; avoid heavy clay.
• Light: Full sun to semi shade; more flowers in brighter conditions.
• Watering: Moderate while establishing; low once mature.
• Fertiliser: Use a low phosphorus native fertiliser in spring.
