Cats Paw (Anigozanthos Humilis) 60 Seeds

         Anigozanthos Humilis

"Cats/Quolls Paw"

Humilis is widely cultivated and can be grown successfully even in areas with humid summers which often cause plants from the west to fail. It would not normally be regarded as long lived in those area, however, five years being the usual maximum. As the plant flowers in its first year from seed, it can be fairly easily replaced.

The leaves are usually short, rarely exceeding 300mm in height and the spring flowers are held on stems just above the foliage .Flowers are mainly yellow but orange and red forms are known.

In cultivation it requires a well drained, sunny position. If well watered it may retain its foliage after flowering but it can die back to the underground rhizome. In this case it should not be assumed that the plant has died as it may regenerate in autumn, particularly if watered. Fertilising with a low-phosphorus, slow-release fertiliser after flowering is beneficial.

1 bag of approx. 60 fresh seeds.
