Bush Gems Celebrations Anigozanthos Carnivale PPAF (that was a mouthful) is another vibrant kangaroo paw with rich purple blooms and soft blue-green foliage, developed through the Bush Gems Celebrations® breeding program by Kings Park & Botanic Garden in Western Australia. This hybrid was created to showcase unique flower colors while improving disease resistance, making it both striking and garden-ready.
To make it feel at home, plant it in well-drained soil with full sun for the best flowering, but in very hot inland areas, some afternoon shade would be appreciated. While it's relatively low-maintenance, removing spent flowers (and the fan of leaves they grew from) can encourage continued blooming. Ideal for pots, planters, or raised garden beds, Carnivale brings the show to any setting.

Reviews
Though not as outrageous color-wise as Anigozanthos 'Masquerade', 'Carnivale' is just as noticeable due to its purple color. Received this recently via the mail from WM, and due to the expert packaging for shipment, it arrived with its bloom stalk intact! The dull weather doesn't bring out the bloom color quite as well in my pic as the website photo, but hopefully one can appreciate how cool it is, and how healthy the plant I received is. Definitely a great addition to my garden.
A repeat customer. Wonderful selection of plants— outstanding quality and expert shipping!
