    Zn 9. Evergreen grass-like foliage. Red blooms

    By: Little Prince of Oregon

    Kangaroo paws have some of the most distinctive flowers in the botanical world with clusters of fuzzy tubular flowers that look like a kangaroo's paw and that bloom for months! 'Bush Ranger' has red flowers flaring to reveal green interiors. Flowers at two feet tall above iris-like mid-green foliage. Tolerant of some freezing but safest to bring plants inside to a greenhouse or as a houseplant in winter.

    Foliage reaches about 18" and produces red flowers on branched 2 foot tall stalks covered with red hairs from spring-fall. Hardy to 28 °F.
