We are able to grow some of the varieties here. They seem to do ok if they have rocky, well drained area.
Oh beautiful Kerry! I love Kangaroo Paws. I cant tell you how many times I've tried to grow them here on the east coast, failing every time. Lovely spotting :)
Thanks Mac. Wish I had a better photo but they are still beautiful.
Nice one Kerry
