Kangaroo paw, as the name suggests, is a perennial native to Australia and an unusual and exciting addition to the landscape. It requires frost-free winters to be grown year-round, that’s why in cool climates, it is grown as an annual or as a potted plant and overwintered indoors.
Unlike any other flower, kangaroo paw features long, club-shaped flower buds covered in coarse hairs that are a deeper color than the flower itself. Only the tip of the bud fully opens as the petals split into six pieces and reflex backward. The inside of the flower is usually greenish-white.
