Grandiceps Protea

Commonly known as the Princess Protea, this variety is grown for its impressive flowers. It features large flowers with bright red-brown bracts and a white margin from autumn through spring. It grows as a woody shrub to about 1 m tall and the same wide, and hosts rigid stems with grey-green leaves. Best results with this Protea are achieved when it is grown in full sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of extended dry periods, frost, and cool climates though some protection while establishing will result in a better plant overall. This is a versatile plant that is often included in a mixed planting, added to a coastal planting, maintained in a container, planted around the pool area, or grown anywhere the beauty of the large flowers can be enjoyed.
