The clump is only 30 to 40cm high and wide, with gold flower stems rising to 70 to 80cm. Compared with short lived kangaroo paws it gets far less black spot, and it tolerates frost and drought.

Ozbreed lists it for New South Wales, the ACT, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia and Queensland. In northern Queensland it is shorter lived, about two to three years, while further south it is a long term plant. In colder climates it will not flower in the winter months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil.\u003c\/strong\u003e Well drained soil or a raised bed is the one real requirement. It will work in heavy soil if you avoid regular wet feet, so mound clay beds. Keep the crown at or above the soil surface, never buried in mulch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater and feed.\u003c\/strong\u003e Water as required for 8 to 13 weeks until established, then leave it to the weather. Use a slow release fertiliser once a year. In humid, shaded spots any kangaroo paw can still mark, so give it sun and air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePruning.\u003c\/strong\u003e Remove older flower stems as required, and cut back untidy foliage every one to two years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to expect when it arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverlasting Gold Kangaroo Paw is grown in 140mm pots in packs of 10, the practical quantity for a massed band.
