Anigozanthos bicolor, commonly known as Little Kangaroo-Paw, is an evergreen perennial herb native to the sandy plains, heathlands, and open forests of Southwestern Australia. It typically grows to a height and width of 1-2 feet (0.3-0.6 meters). This species is characterized by its tubular, two-toned flowers, which are green and red, resembling the paws of a kangaroo, and bloom in the spring and fall. The flowers are quite showy and attract nectar-feeding birds. Little Kangaroo-Paw has strappy green leaves and a clumping habit, making it an attractive ornamental plant.

Little Kangaroo-Paw is valued for its unique flowers and ability to attract wildlife. It is often used in ornamental gardens, borders, and as a container plant. It requires well-drained sandy or loamy soil and thrives in full sun, although it can tolerate partial shade. While drought-tolerant once established, it benefits from occasional watering during prolonged dry periods. It is relatively low maintenance but can be susceptible to ink disease, which causes blackening of the leaves. To prevent this, ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering. There are no major concerns regarding invasiveness or aggressive roots.CC BY-SA 4.0
