I still have some red kangaroo paw seeds but those get bigger and I think are perennial

Yes kangaroo paw is perennial, and doesnât like being transplanted much. Best planted in a big pot so itâs roots can go deep down like itâs supposed to. Drought hardy once established.
Also, nasturtium flowers and buds are edible - quite a nice tangy taste and so pretty in a salad. The very young buds can be pickled and taste like capers. Leaves not edible tho.

Itâs a real shame I canât start a little native garden in the bare patch with a small birdbath in the middle.
But random destructive people canât seem to stop themselves trespassing or keep their hands to themselves.
