KING PROTEA CYANAROIDES  

(King Protea -­ Plants)
  The "King Protea" is one of the most spectacular members of the Proteaceae family, and as a result, has been designated the national flower of South Africa  
 It is a woody shrub, with thick stems leading to clusters of pink or crimson colored flowers, arranged into large flower heads that are surrounded by large, narrow, colorful bracts and flattened, paddle­ shaped leaves. The appearance of the king protea varies substantially throughout its range, and an astonishing 81 variants have been recorded.
It produces spectacular  blossoms as large as 6 inches in diameter.
Ideal for low maintenance, low water use gardens.
Tolerant of most well ­drained soil types and conditions.

Fast growing. Its superb blooms are beautiful when cut and last for two to three weeks in a vase.

 Protea's are quite easy to grow tolerating slightly acid and alkaline soils as well as climates that are wet in winter and dry in summer.  For best performance, plant it in full sun and soil that is moderately infertile. Soil must be fast ­draining and porous; moist soils encourage fungal diseases.  Amend loam and clay soils with grit and coarse organic matter to improve aeration and drainage.
Do not fertilize, especially with phosphorus.
