Temperature Requirements:

60 to 65 F (15 to 18 C) Night
Production during very warm temperatures of above 85 F (29C) is not an issue.
Media and pH Requirements: A well-drained soil is required. Water thoroughly and let soil dry between irrigation. Anigozanthos
will require moist conditions during the growth and flowering stage of production (spring). When temperatures are cool and light
levels are diminished, the water requirement is reduced so let the soil dry completely before another irrigation. 5.5 to 6.5 is a
proper pH.
Fertilizer Requirements: 150 to 200 PPM Nitrogen with intermittent clear water irrigation to keep salts from building. Fertilize
with a low Phosphorus formulation 20-10-20 or 15-5-20.
Pinching Requirement: None
Growth Regulators: None
Disease and Insect Pests: Rust and Alternaria: Spray with copper-based fungicide to prevent spotting on fans during high
humidity. Pythium: Drench with root rot preventative fungicide as labeled. Plant in well aerated soil, preferably using well-aged
bark as an aggregate, allowing the soil to dry between irrigations.

Anigozanthos Kanga® Jump
Series: Anigozanthos Kanga® Jump
Varieties: Burgundy, Orange, Red and
Yellow
Why Grow Kanga® Jump:
•
Kanga® Jump series is larger than our
traditional Kanga® series and,
therefore, better suited for larger
containers.
•
Excellent garden performance
•
Perennial in coastal California and similar
climates
•
Ideal for 8” (20cm) containers and larger
•
Easy for growers to ship.

Seasonal Late Spring-Summer
Temperature Requirements:
day 65 to 75 F (18 to 21 C)
night 60 to 65 F (15 to 18 C)
Production during very warm temperatures of above 90 F (32C) is not an issue.
Media and pH Requirements: A well-drained soil is required. Water thoroughly and let soil dry between irrigations. Anigozanthos
will require moist conditions during the growth and flowering stage in production (spring). When temperatures are cool and light
levels are diminished, the water requirement is reduced so let the soil dry completely before the next irrigation. 5.5 – 6.5. pH above
6.5 may cause Iron (Fe) deficiencies.
Fertilizer Requirements: Fertilize with a low phosphorus fertilizer, e.g., slow release at planting, N:P:K in the ratio of 17 : 1.6 : 8.7.
Plants may be top dressed in the autumn with a similar slow release fertilizer. Fertilizer may be provided through the irrigation
system, again using a low phosphorus formulation. Iron deficiencies may become evident in soils with pH over 6.5.
Irrigation: Plants will continue to grow year round if constant soil moisture is maintained, ideally by the use of dripper irrigation.
Water stress during flower development may result in distorted stems.
Pinching Requirements: None
Growth Regulators: None
Disease and Insect Pests: Rust and Alternaria: Spray with copper-based fungicide to prevent spotting on fans during high
humidity.
Pythium: Drench with root rot preventative fungicide as labeled. Plant in well aerated soil, preferably using well-aged bark as an
aggregate, allowing the soil to dry between irrigations.
Comments: Anigozanthos Kanga® Jump will tolerate summer rains, but do not like wet feet. The native environment of
Anigozanthos is warm, with summer drought and dominant winter rain. Color intensity of flowers is at its best in full sun – colors are
muted while under greenhouse cover. Advise landscapers to space plants on 3-foot centers. Plants can be pruned once per year by
removing old flower stems and any discolored outside foliage. Take debris away from plants for disease control.
