Anigozanthos Bush games got its name from the 2000 Sydney Olympic games when its flower was used in the medal winners' bouquets. Another Angus Stewart hybrid that is truly stunning in its bright mix of colors. Likes full sun, great draining soil and severe pruning. The clumps grow to be about 2 feet wide and 3 feet tall with the 4 feet tall flower spikes adding pure drama.
