A vigorous rounded shrub. Very attractive rosy red flowers are borne though out the year with peak flowering time being winter. Adaptable to a wide range of well drained soil types in full sun. Prune back regularly. Evergreen.

To have success with your Protea good drainage is essential. They like a nice light slightly acidic soil. They don't like fertilizer high in phosphates. Generally feeding is not necessary but a slow release with a low phosphate (P) rating is the safest to use. Any pruning should be done after flowering.
