Proteas
Buds of abundance of silky flowerheads, whose feathery fringed bracts curve gently inwards at the top. Protea flowers can be dried to make everlasting arrangements. Drought tolerant. Hight to 6'. Full sun.
Native to Africa; these stately shrubs are grown for cut flowers and sought by florists all over the world. Flowerheads are composed of fuzzy leaf sheaths of silvery pink, overlapping each other to form a cup shaped flowerhead. Leaves are leathery and oleander shaped. One of our favorites!!!
