\nKing Protea, aka Protea cynaroides<\/a><\/h2>\n

“South Africa’s national flower, & the world’s best know Protea. This species has large upward facing blooms \u2013 up to 11\u201d across, with pink outer bracts. Prized as a cut flower, & jaw dropping in person, it’s easy to understand why people will bend over backwards to grow this Protea outside its native range.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Incredibly bright yellow-green foliage on a massive clump eventually reaching as high as 6 feet. If you need drama in your shade garden (and really, who doesn’t?), you need this plant.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nCyperus papyrus ‘King Tut’<\/a><\/h2>\n

A must have plant we snatch up each and every year here in our Portland gardens where they are annuals. The summer wouldn’t be the same without these elegant umbrellas.<\/p>\n
