Protea neriifolia

Hardy and adaptable rounded shrub attractive lance-shaped leaves. The showy red blooms are tipped black and have a feathery appearance. An attractive feature in itself or mass planted for a stunning screen. Mild frost tolerance and will withstand coastal conditions. Good drainage is required and some summer watering is beneficial for best results. Prune after flowering and water to establish. Do not fertilise with anything except slow release fertiliser. Avoid fresh manure.

We also propagate a white flowering form, still with black tips.
