Celebrations® Carnivale 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.
