Protea cynaroides

Glossy green rounded leaves are complemented by huge pink flowers that can be as large as 12-13cm in diameter. Water to establish, though if you want to produce quality blooms, watering will assist in more flowers. Fertilising not necessary, but will also assist with flowering-use a native fertiliser in spring. Prune away spent flowers.

Occasionally available in 175mm pots upon request only, at $20 each.
