Anigozanthos hybrid ‘Amber Velvet’
Amber Velvet is a striking Kangaroo Paw known for its vibrant amber flowers with red and yellow accents. This mid-sized plant is perfect for landscaping and can reach heights of 1 to 1.2 meters, making it a standout feature in any garden. The foliage is robust and clean, offering better resistance to ink spot diseases.
Description:
- Height and Width: 50 cm high x 40 cm wide
- Flower Colour: Bold amber with red and yellow tones
- Foliage: Robust and clean
Planting Density:
- Mass Planting: 3-5 plants per m²
- Linear Planting: 2-3 plants per linear meter
Uses: Ideal for mass planting, pots, and low-maintenance gardens or landscapes. It performs well when planted behind or between evergreen strappy leaf plants for minimal maintenance.
Position: Prefers full sun in an open position. It thrives in well-drained soils or raised garden beds and should avoid areas with poor drainage. It tolerates both frost and drought conditions.
Care Instructions:
- Watering: Water as needed for the first 8-13 weeks until established.
- Mulching: Plant in a well-mulched garden, preferably with chunky mulch.
- Planting: Ensure the crown or base of the plant is not below soil level.
- Fertilizing: Use a native slow-release fertilizer in spring if necessary.
- Maintenance: Remove older flower stems and trim back foliage every 1-2 years unless planted in bands between strappy leaf plants.
Suitability: This plant is suitable for NSW, ACT, VIC, TAS, SA, WA, and QLD (though it is shorter-lived in northern QLD, approximately 2-3 years, while it lasts longer in the south).
