    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    One of the best flowering proteas we grow. Lots of big cup-like terminal flowers that make floral design a breeze. Easy in a sunny spot with good airflow and room for it to grow. A pruning after the flowers is a good way to keep this one tidy and sets it up for more flowers the following season.
