Anigozanthos 'Coral Pink' (Coral Pink Kangaroo Paw) - Evergreen perennial. Full sun. Low water needs. Big coral pink flowers in spring-fall. Grows to about 3' tall. Hardy to 25-30 degrees F. This cultivar is a hybrid between flavidus and humilis. It arose as a mutation from a variety called 'Suffuse' in 1996. 'Suffuse' was part of a Angnus Stuart's Kangaroo Paw Program at Sydney University that utilized the genetic lines of 'Bush Ranger' to produce numerous floriferous plants with dwarf stature. Other notable hybrids from this program were Suffuse (pink), Solace (yellowish), Sultan (orange) and Surouge (red).
