Sylvia Protea, Protea eximia Sylvia

Protea “Sylvia” produces large, dark red flower heads with a black trim from autumn through spring. It grows as a woody shrub to about 2 m tall and the same wide with thick stems and large, green leaves. Best results with this Protea are achieved when 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 the performance of this plant. “Sylvia” is a versatile plant that is often included in a mixed planting, added to a coastal planting, maintained in a container, planted around outdoor living areas, or grown anywhere the beauty of the large flowers can be enjoyed.

Protea Sylvia is currently unavailable, but we do have other other amazing species and varieties of Protea available.
