$8.35

One of the popular Bush Gems® series of kangaroo paws, Surprise usually has yellow paws shading to red at the tips to give a charming two-tone sunset effect. We can see why it got its name as we've had buds from lime yellow through orange and rust to purple-grey! Good neat size for edging garden beds, or planting in a patio pot.

We love Bush Surprise for its varied sunset colouring, versatile size, upright habit
