Kangaroo Paw Gift of Seeds - Sow 'n Sow

Grow your own little piece of Australia with the native Kangaroo Paw Gift of Seeds.

The furry, claw-like bright red flowers on long stems are absolutely stunning and are widely used as cut flowers.

Kangaroo Paw is the state emblem of Western Australia and grows naturally in the South West of WA.

Seeds like cooler weather for germination so start seeds in autumn or winter (depending on your area), cover with a light layer of seed raising mix and keep moist. Germination may take a few weeks to a month, so be patient. Covering the tray with clear plastic will help to preserve the moisture.

Once seedlings have grown their second set of leaves, transfer into larger pots in a potting mix designed for Australian natives, and place in a sunny position. Flowering is most likely to occur after a year.

A gift and a card in one, this Gift of Seeds is embellished with stunning illustrations created by Daniella Germain. Each packet comes with a biodegradable, tear-away plant label, seeds and sowing instructions.

• Made in Australia
• 100% recycled paper
• Includes an illustrative recycled card plant label to mark where your seeds are planted
• Comes with a recycled kraft envelope for mailing

Variety: Tall Red, Anigozanthos flavidus.

The Seeds

Our seeds are non-hybrid, open pollinated, non-GMO varieties sourced from reputable suppliers both within Australia and abroad.

Seeds should be stored in a cool, dry place for best long term viability.

We recommend a shelf life of approximately 2 years for our Gifts of Seeds to ensure good germination rates.
