Thriving in full sun and well-drained, slightly acidic soil, Protea cynaroides is drought-tolerant once established and well-suited to Mediterranean or coastal climates. While it may take time to flower from seed, the result is a truly breathtaking shrub with evergreen foliage and long-lasting blooms. Start from seed and enjoy the satisfaction of growing a regal, showstopping plant that commands attention in any landscape.
King Protea is a striking South African native known for its massive, artichoke-like blooms and architectural foliage.
