Common Name
Bush Diamond Kangaroo Paw
Description
Bush Diamond is a stunning white-flowered kangaroo paw cultivar that brings elegance and sophistication to native gardens. This compact variety produces pristine white fuzzy flowers on sturdy stems, creating a brilliant contrast against the grey-green strappy foliage. The distinctive kangaroo paw-shaped blooms attract honeyeaters and other native birds while providing excellent cut flowers for indoor arrangements. More compact than traditional kangaroo paws, it’s perfect for smaller gardens, borders, and container plantings. Drought tolerant once established and thriving in well-drained soils, this hardy perennial offers long flowering periods and reliable performance.
