Protea Coronet Peak

Protea Coronet Peak Details

“Coronet Peak” is a variety of Protea that produces large and showy, cream flower heads with a dark centre from autumn through until spring. It grows as a woody shrub to about 1.5 m tall and the same wide with thick stems, and narrow, green leaves. Best results with this variety are achieved when it is grown in full sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of extended dry periods, moderate frost, and cool climates, though some protection while establishing will benefit overall performance. This is a versatile plant that is often included in mixed plantings, added to coastal gardens, maintained in a container, planted around pool areas, or grown anywhere the beauty of the large flowers can be enjoyed.
