I have just acquired a well grown Anigozanthos in a 5in pot from a local
bring and buy.
The vendor said it had been grown from seed brought back from Australia and
gave
the local name as Kangaroos Paw. I have never met it before or even met a
Kangaroo.
I suspect it is not hardy here, from its place of origin. I believe the
flowers are spectacular.
Have any of you experts grown it in UK and any tips or comments please?

NOT hardy, conservatory above freezing in winter, only. It's very
attractive/interesting and florists often use it. I wouldn't call it
spectacular, though - interesting, certainly.
