How to grow Anigozanthos 'Celebrations Valentine' in NZ

Grow Anigozanthos 'Celebrations Valentine' in full sun with excellent drainage and shelter from severe frost. Improve heavy soil before planting, or choose a container filled with quality potting mix that drains freely. Set the plant at its original soil level and water thoroughly to settle the roots. Keep moisture available while it establishes, allowing the surface to dry slightly between waterings. In wetter NZ districts, a raised bed helps prevent prolonged saturation. A bright, open position also encourages strong flowering stems.
