Plant of the Month - Proteas


A low maintenance, low water use garden is ideal for proteas. Proteas flourish in the same conditions as natives and complement a wide range of garden styles. Providing year-round colour and spectacular cut flowers, Proteas are ideal for courtyards, terraces, and large properties.


Proteas do well in direct sunlight with excellent airflow. On south-facing walls, Proteas cannot flourish in the Southern Hemisphere. Your proteas will produce more blossoms the more sun they receive. Some proteas may grow in partially shaded situations. Once planted, proteas are fairly cold hardy. They can often withstand frosts of roughly minus 2° in the winter, while some are more frost-resistant and can withstand frosts of minus 6°. Come have a look at our newest delivery of Proteas.
