I Found the Rarest Blue Plant at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show – It’s Drought-Tolerant, Fire-Resistant, and Hummingbirds Love It

Blue kangaroo paw on RHS Journey Beyond the Tracks Garden 2026.

At the RHS Chelsea Flower Show this week, there was one plant that instantly captured my curiosity: the blue kangaroo paw (or Anigozanthos 'Masquerade'). Perhaps the rarest plant to spot at the show this year, it intrigues with teal-blue tubular blooms.

Located on the Journey Beyond the Tracks: From Adelaide to Perth Garden, this exotic beauty sits low to the ground. It's a close cousin of the standard red kangaroo paw (which is available as starter plants on Amazon), so it's incredibly resilient, thrives in the hottest climes, and even bounces back from wildfires.
